Shan Phearon

Enigmatic polymath Shan Phearon creates new kinds of iconography and is considered one of the top minds working in UK music videos today.

His reputation has developed: whether landing a UK Music Video Awards nomination for his first video, or advancing new age ultra-wide angle cinematography, right through to inventing the world’s first UV light drone for iconic brands Apple and Def Jam, and even designing blockbuster spectacles to electrify the contemporary UK music video field.

Shan has directed grand scale projects for some of the most culture shifting artists in the world, from global superstars like Karol G, Kali Uchis to Janelle Monae, Tyler The Creator, Charli XCX, Ed Sheeran, ASAP Rocky, Kid Cudi, Mike Skinner (The Streets) through to one of the biggest bands of all time U2.

A child of the ‘90s and 2000s, with encyclopaedic film knowledge, his style blends new age narratives with cutting edge craft.

Always tapped in to digital sub-cultures, he undoubtedly understands how to engage online audiences now and next.
