I see in visuals.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

There are projects you work on and then there are projects that work on you.

Flames of a Wildfire was one of those.

Before this project, I knew @greatmantakit as an incredible artist. By the end of it, I had encountered something much deeper, a minister whose greatest strength isn’t simply his voice, but the secret place from which he expresses from.

Working on the creative direction and directing the visuals gave me a front-row seat to something I’ll never forget in a hurry.

I watched a man who has clearly spent time with God pour himself out without reservation.

What struck me wasn’t perfection, it was sincerity.

When the cameras were rolling, it never felt like a performance. Every lyric, every expression, every moment carried the weight of someone who wasn’t trying to impress an audience but honour the One who gave him the message.

It reminded me of David, a man after God’s own heart. Not because he never stumbled, but because his heart consistently found its way back to God. There’s something about people who have built a private altar that cannot be manufactured in public.

You can feel it.

And that’s exactly what Flames of a Wildfire feels like.

It’s not just an album. It’s devotion with a melody. It’s surrender with a sound. It’s the testimony of a heart that has been refined in the quiet place before being revealed to the world.

This project reminded me that the most powerful art is born from authentic encounters, and the greatest ministry is never about being seen, it’s about revealing Christ.

@greatmantakit I love you and I love what God is doing in this season of your life. Thank you for continually choosing the secret place over the spotlight. You have an army standing behind you, we full ground for you covering you in prayer, cheering you on, and believing in the assignment God has placed on your life. Keep burning.

Thank you for allowing me to witness this journey and to help bring this vision to life. Cheers to many more!

My prayer is that every person who listens experiences more than great music. I hope they encounter the same fire that gave birth to it. by @by_the.ire

Another idea came to life beautifully. 🧡

I got to create the concept, lead the creative direction and co-direct “You Are Good” by @greatmantakit & @nathanielblow

From an idea in my head to watching it come alive on set…the best feeling.

Super grateful for the incredible people who trusted the process and brought it to life.

God gave the idea, we just had some fun with it.

When I heard ‘All the Praise’ for the first time I felt adrenaline rush in my bodyyyyyyy and I knew already what the visual and concept would look like.

In 15 minutes I created the concept, 45 minutes later I created the treatment and sent it to @speedope

In less than 24 hours the song was beautifully choreographed by @kaffydance and @greatmantakit learnt it, I don’t know how but he did😂. In 48 hours we shot and produced the music video.

Somebody shout “power”!!!!!!

In conclusion, All the Praise official video is out on YouTube!😌
