HOUSTON, USA // Daps is an award-winning director whose work has generated billions of views across advertising, music, and television. He has directed major campaigns for Google, Nike, Adidas, Sprite, Samsung, BMW, Crypto.com, and more — earning multiple Clio Awards for advertising and being named one of the most innovative and inspiring individuals by Adweek.

In music videos, Daps is equally celebrated. He is best known for directing for artists such as Drake, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Migos, and Kendrick Lamar — charting Billboard Number Ones and earning nominations at the BET and MTV Awards. His videos are distinguished by visually stunning narratives, at times featuring Hollywood talent including Oscar winners Jamie Foxx (“Walk It Talk It,” MTV VMA Hip Hop Video of the Year nominee) and Forest Whitaker (“Just In Case”).
A proven tastemaker across the US, UK, and Africa, Daps brings the same culture-shifting ambition to television and film.
