We sat down for a chat with music video and commercial director David Wilson. Covering his more recent projects but also discussing what he’s looking forward to seeing at Blend 2019, David reminded us how much we love not just his works but also his talks!
David Wilson is a London based director. More than a decade ago, he was one of the people re-vamping and rescuing from oblivion the music video format, back in the days when promos were struggling to once again become relevant story-telling environments. He made artistic cutting-edge videos look sexy, mesmerizing and appealing to large crowds. David has created work for artists such as Arctic Monkeys, David Guetta, Lady Gaga, Metronomy, Royal Blood, We Have Band, The Maccabees, Japanese Popstars and Tame Impala, receiving copious accolades including being crowned Best Director at the UK Music Video Awards and a Grammy nomination in 2015 for his video for Arcade Fire, ‘We Exist’.
