Led the complete creative direction for Burna Boy’s I Told Them Tour, overseeing both the visual concept and on site execution across film and photography. The production focused on capturing the scale, energy and cultural impact of one of Africa’s most influential global artists, creating premium visual content that reflected the identity of the tour while preserving authentic moments on and off stage.

Develop a cohesive visual identity that translated the energy of a world tour into compelling photo and video content. The challenge was to maintain a consistent creative vision across multiple environments while working within the fast paced demands of an international live production.

Directed the creative execution from concept to delivery, leading both the film and photography production throughout the tour. By combining cinematic storytelling, documentary style coverage and carefully composed imagery, the final content captured not only the performances but also the atmosphere, emotion and personality behind the artist. Every visual was crafted to strengthen Burna Boy's global brand while creating timeless content beyond the live experience.
