“The boldness of my visuals is partially a response to knowing I’d have to create an avenue where none existed," says VANDAL director Munachi Osegbu, who made his debut as a director in 2019 with Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Big Ole Freak.' Since then, his videos have been viewed over 200 million times on YouTube. Billboard included 'Big Ole Freak' on their list of the top 100 music videos of the decade. His latest is 'DAYLIGHT' for Joji and Diplo, taking a playful and colorful dive back into 80s boy band territory.
