BMW – EXPRESSIVE LIFESTYLE

DIRECTOR: Chehad AbdallahYEAR: 2022CLIENT: BMW
With the first-ever BMW XM, the brand is now entering new territory. In addition to the flagship vehicle, the campaign focuses on the exceptional musician Chief Adjuah a.k.a. Christian Scott. The 6-times Grammy nominated jazz musician is breaking new ground just as boldly and expressively as the XM. Not only does he move freely between a wide variety of musical genres, but his "stretch music" also repeatedly explores the genre conventions of jazz in new ways.
