GAMBIT is simply a groovy ass record that’s about being yourself, choosing to be grateful for the abundance that already exists in your life, and pushing on through adversity.
The lyric video for GAMBIT is the culmination of 2 years of creative inspiration, friendship, and moments of joy in a shared history between myself and Tara Morris. The film features rotoscope animation of real individuals from our lives, with references shot from 2019 - 2021 as part of the Moves project spotlighting creatives in Oakland & beyond. I was one of the first artists featured in the series. We took the reference video on a sunny day by Lake Merritt during our first hangout, and it has now brought us here.
