Shannon Elizabeth, star of box office smash American Pie, is to direct the new video for the record "More Than Friends" by Tha Vill ft the UK's Kele Le Roc.
The video will be shot in LA mid September 2010 and will hit UK tv screens by October.
The track has already been in DMC's Top 10, Number 1 at Australia's ZFM, and a UK club smash throughout the summer. Heads of Music of the top UK stations have already been on high alert about the record, & with new remixes coming from some of the hottest young producers in the UK, this single is sure to receive extensive national support. A major feature in Music Week Magazine will go live in early September.
Tha Vill has produced, worked and remixed for a number of high profile names over the past few years in collaboration with his Kage Production partner Kalle Engstrom. This has included penning the hit record "Work" for the Saturdays and the original version of Shimmy, re-worked by UK actress Preeya Kalidas featuring Mumzy Stranger which became number 1 in the Asian download Chart in the UK summer 2010
He has also provided production work for artists such as Akon, The Game and Flo Rida, and is a Myspace featured artist due to his phenomenal online presence, which commands a global fanbase. He was one of the first urban artists to write for and feature in idents for stations such as MTV, VH1 and the Fox network, and his track Fiber Optic Love has been used in the film "How To Make Love To a Woman" starring Jenna Jameson and Tha Vill's long term friend Eugene Byrd (8 Mile)
Recently, his collaboration with Canadian artist Dan D on the track "Keeps Me Coming" was the top requested track on Australia's Raw FM for 8 weeks running, his own video for track "Ride It is on high rotation on Canadian TV, and he is releasing a record with fellow Hi Energy Entertainment stablemate Ace Young (American X Factor) shortly
He regularly enjoys an average of 1/4 million downloads of each track he makes available online, and his recent mixtape has had over 100,000 downloads in 3 weeks.
Generally regarded as the instigator of the "nu-tek" production style later embraced by fellow Chicagoan Kanye West and The Black Eyed Peas, "Mr Fiber Optic" has reached a worldwide audience and built a fanbase other Major label based artists envy.
It is a truly remarkable track record and rise to prominence which will soon culminate in this massive new release, "More Than Friends".
