DOGEATDOG have announced the arrival of rising director Jean-Sébastien Degni to the London-based production company for music video and commercial representation in the UK.

Degni - who grew up in Finland - has made an impression with his videos for UK rapper Wax Bentayga, in the promos for NEO, WDYM, Jurgen Klopp and their latest collaboration on the track Jenny. His work gravitates towards the absurd and cynically humourous, with tongue-in-cheek styles evident in his narratives, characters and use of VFX. 

Together with his boundary-pushing visuals for Wax, Degni has also directed videos for ENNY and Koder. 

“I felt an instant connection with Jean-Sébastien’s work," says DOGEATDOG EP and Head of Music Natalia Maus. "His string of music videos for UK rapper Wax showcases his strong, witty writing, his craft, versatility and his work ethic - not wasting a second of screen time if he can get another idea in! We are thrilled to welcome Jean-Sébastien to DOGEATDOG’s music and commercial roster and cannot wait to bring his wonderful ideas to life. He’s also just a bloody lovely person - so it’s no surprise that everyone adores working with him.”

Jean-Sébastien Degni adds: “I’m excited! I think Natalia and everyone at DOGEATDOG have a really clear understanding of what my strengths are and support the direction I want to go in, so joining the roster felt like a natural move.”
