It’s been 3 weeks since I had to say goodbye to my baby boy, my best friend, my companion, Mijo. There are no words that can accurately describe the type of heartbreak I feel. My home simply feels empty. There is a massive hole in my life, one that nobody or anything can fill…
Third in a series of short narratives I directed for “Garren & Cohan”, the composer duo of Brady Cohan and Ross Garren, is “EVERDAY GRIND” – RICKSHAWS: Man vs. Auto”, a visual documentary that looks at the daily lives of RICKSHAW drivers in Chandini Chowk, Old Delhi (INDIA)…
For those of you that know me well, you know that at the end of 2008 I walked away from a very successful job I had worked hard at for nearly 13yrs, due in part to a wonderful creative opportunity, but propelled forward by what I like to dub as a “White Collar Crime”. It changed my life forever. Almost within 6months of leaving that life, I was blessed with an opportunity to travel to Europe with one of my favorite Dhillons…my cousin Mona…
Anthony Valadez and his label, Plug Research, liked the 1st music video I directed for the track “Searching For” , so they decided to circle back and give me a crack at another song on AntVala’s LP “In Search Of”, this one titled “Good Lookin'” featuring the mesmerizing vocals of BIRD…
It’s been a busy year (no complaints), so much so that I haven’t had a chance to get through my travel photos from the most recent trip to India (Dec2013-Jan2014) until now. I feel so lucky to be afforded the opportunity to travel to India every year to visit my sister and her family..
Last fall, my cousin got married in Virginia. It was quite the momentous occasion for the Dhillon family because it marked the first time since 2003 that my entire immediatefamily would travel together…Mom, Bap (aka Dad), Preet (my sis, YES, she flew in from India for 4 days to attend this wedding, because family is everything to her) and Me…
My friend and fellow turntablist, Anthony Valadez, reached out to me earlier this year to talk about directing a music video for the 1st single off his recent LP, “In Search Of”. The song is called “Searching For” and features the extremely gifted vocals & horns of Miles Bonny…
Early this year, I was given an incredible opportunity to travel to Goa, India to cover Harley Davidson for the 2nd Annual India Bike Week. I know people throw this phrase/expression around a lot, but trust me when I say this truly was a once in a lifetime experience…
I have the privilege of working with some pretty amazing folks on editorials, at the top of that list being my all-star squad of Jessica Davis (make-up) and DaRico Jackson(hair). DaRico hired me to do a behind-the-scenes fashion editorial featuring his client, Le Angelique Hair Tools, shot on location at the Turning Heads Salon in Los Angeles, CA…
My best friends in this wonderful life are the kind of cats that you can speak to after a couple days, weeks, months or even years and pick up right where we left off. My oldest & dearest friend from childhood (and I’m talking, we go back, WAY BACK, all the way to Kindergarten…yeah, real talk) is my brotha, Justin Anderson. Growing up in Los Angeles, the Andersons were like a 2nd home & family to me…
Second in a series of short narratives I directed for “Garren & Cohan”, the composer duo of Brady Cohan and Ross Garren, is “THE DANCE”, which tells the story of the dance we all go through in the never ending search for love…
I’m from Los Angeles, born & raised. Grew up in Sherman Oaks. The image above, that’s actually my parent’s house (and, as a matter of a fact, that’s my father workin’ the lawn mower – HOLD UP, can I just say something? I love how down my father is to get involved in projects I’m working on, he’s pure dopeness)…
