As a freelance Creative Director and Executive Producer, I led the creative development and live execution of multiple headline performances for A$AP Rocky across some of the world’s most high-profile festivals, including Rolling Loud and the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix festival.
Working directly with A$AP Rocky and his team, I was responsible for shaping and delivering the complete creative vision for each show, from performance concept, stage design, and visual storytelling to technical production, choreography, and live event coordination. Each performance was uniquely tailored to the scale, cultural context, and audience of the host event, balancing A$AP’s distinct creative identity with the demands of global festival stages.
At Rolling Loud, I elevated A$AP Rocky’s set into a cinematic, high-energy experience that stood out in a crowded lineup of global hip-hop talent. For the F1 Festival in Saudi Arabia, I delivered a landmark production that merged Western music culture with the region’s growing appetite for world-class live entertainment, navigating complex production and cultural considerations.
These shows reached live audiences in the tens of thousands and were streamed or shared with millions more globally via social and media platforms. My work not only reinforced A$AP Rocky’s brand as a boundary-pushing live performer, it also demonstrated my ability to deliver technically complex, culturally relevant, and visually distinctive headline performances on some of the world’s most visible stages.
