Apple Music Awards '21
CREATIVE DIRECTION & EXECUTIVE PRODUCTION ©2021
Again for 2021, Mike executive produced and creative directed the Apple Music Awards campaign, celebrating the massive years of superstars The Weeknd, Olivia Rodrigo, & H.E.R, as well as international artists such as Wizkid & Aya Nakamura. The creative direction featured a specific color story for each artist, and was centered around a "portal-like" set design, which acted as a visual motif for transition, as they closed their year in music.
