Creating this music video with Indigo was born out of our interest and exploration of an artist grappling with her own emotional and mental suffering and how complex that relationship can be. When I first heard Pressure In My Chest I was just blown away by the stoicism that came from a woman speaking quite vulnerably about her emotional turmoil, anxiety, and mental health. I really wanted to create a music video for Indigo that showcased her strength as a woman and as an artist and her unique perspective and relationship with her mental health.

Striving to find hope while tackling some of life’s biggest emotions head-on, her work spans real, scripted, performance-driven and visceral genres and reframes the struggles of the human experience as the common denominator that brings us together.
