Following a bit of a social media and self care cleanse, I’m back and excited to share an interview I did with VoyageLA. This is my second time being interviewed by Voyage, my first was with their Atlanta branch, but since then a lot has changed regarding my work, my outlook on the industry, and my future plans. Please give it a read when you can and stay tuned for some cool things coming in the very near future! Special thanks to my good friend Sean Malony for recommending me!

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mikael Trench. Mikael Trench Hi Mikael, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.

I'm super excited to finally be sharing this, but the full music video I created last year for R&B artist hmptnbae is up NOW on YouTube for all to see! This was my first time ever directing a music video which has always been a dream of mine and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The story being conveyed through this song is one that really connected with me and the fact that I was more or less allowed to go crazy and wrap it altogether in a sci-fi horror package was just the cherry on top.
I can't wait to share more in depth behind the scenes stuff regarding the making of the video because I have a LOT I can't wait to share. But until then, go hit the link below. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed putting this bad boy together!
