Full length music video for "Do What You Love": a collaboration between 9 Theory and LaserLewDude.
Hearing this song in my car April 25th of '22, I reached out to 9 Theory and we set plans in motion to create this video. The song hits me on so many levels. But plain and simple - it's the way I feel when I'm making art (slang'n lasers and such).
I absolutely loved making this video. I did what I loved.
The minted video had to be compressed for SuperRare's media size limit.
Higher quality version available to collector upon auction close.
