USHER As one of the best-selling artists in music history, with an illustrious three-decade career and over 80 million records sold worldwide, Usher's impact on the industry is undeniable. His groundbreaking albums, including My Way and Confessions, have shattered records and earned him numerous accolades, including eight GRAMMY® Awards. In 2024, Usher's trailblazing journey continued with his headlining performance at the Apple Music halftime show for Super Bowl LVIII and the release of his highly anticipated ninth album, COMING HOME, which marked his debut as an independent artist.

 

ANTHONY MANDLER Renowned American director Anthony Mandler first made his mark directing some of today's top music artists such as Taylor Swift, Jay Z, The Weeknd, The Killers, and Drake. His long collaboration with Rihanna shaped her visual style as they collaborated on 15 videos together. His trilogy of films with Lana Del Rey are some of the artist’s most profound and cinematic; National Anthem, Ride and the 30min Tropico. His unique style of storytelling/cinematic approach has garnered over 3.8 billion views of his work worldwide, and his numerous awards have made him one of the most coveted directors in the industry.
