Knucklehead announce Global representation of director Nathan James Tettey.
Already one of the UK’s most established music video directors, Tettey’s latest video Martin’s Sofa for Headie One, has just launched and was made with his new Knucklehead family.
The video reunites Headie One with Tettey to promote his highly anticipated new single, already a fan favourite after it leaked online last year. Social media buzz soon followed with ‘wheresmartinssofa’ trending on TikTok and the sofa touring the UK last week, creating a hype not seen with previous Headie releases.
The track is a poignant dedication to Martin, his old friend who helped a young Headie through hard times in his formative years, delivered in signature flow and street-smart lyrics with M1OnTheBeat production. The video features the struggle Headie went through coming up and Martin’s original sofa, and depicts the respect and unique bond they still share today.
