Entertainment industry veteran Jimmy Ienner, Jr. is shooting five live performance videos for West Avenue Records recording artist, Michael Nappi, the label announced today. The videos will feature select live performances from Nappi's debut album, Here We Go Again, including the album's first single, "7:26."
"I thought the album was solid the first time I heard it. Interesting and inspiring," Ienner says. "Then, I saw Michael live at Palmer's Crossing. He showed great potential, charisma and substance and I immediately wanted to capture that on film. We made plans right then and there to shoot the performance videos that week."
Former chief photographer and video director at Sony BMG Music Entertainment Inc. for nearly two decades, and currently the president and founder of United Productions Company, Ienner boasts a client list of some of music's biggest names, including Train, Tony Bennett, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd, Kevin Bacon, and Bruce Hornsby. His work can be seen on MTV, VH1, HBO and all of the major network channels.
"Jimmy Ienner, Jr. is a gifted and talented artist in his own right. We are absolutely thrilled to have him on board for this project and look forward to many future collaborations,"
The performance videos will serve as promotion and marketing tools to introduce Nappi to the radio, music, film and television, and publishing industries, and the press. The videos will also provide an opportunity to spread a little more "Love & Nappiness" to Nappi's ever-growing national and international fan bases.
