My Role

As City Fidelia’s photographer and brand designer, I played a crucial role in bringing our collaborative vision to life. It was my responsibility to capture the essence of City Fidelia’s brand through striking visuals that resonated with his unique identity. Every photograph, graphic design element, and video project was meticulously crafted to align with the brand narrative we had established. I worked tirelessly to ensure that each image and piece of visual content not only represented City Fidelia authentically but also conveyed the depth of his storytelling and multicultural influences.

Collaborating closely with City Fidelia and the brand consulting team, I helped create a visual language that seamlessly integrated with his music, enhancing the overall brand experience. The goal was to provide his audience with a holistic view of his artistic persona, both through his music and the visual elements surrounding it.

This collaborative effort bore fruit as we witnessed City Fidelia’s Spotify listenership grow exponentially, from under 1,000 total listens to over 6 million. This growth confirmed that our approach was not only artistically fulfilling but also commercially successful. It’s been truly rewarding to see City Fidelia transition into a full-time musician, and I’m proud to have played a part in helping him achieve this milestone. Together, we’ve solidified his place in the music industry, and I’m excited to continue supporting his artistic journey.
