Directed by Francesco Calabrese and produced by Think Cattleya, Musica Ovunque is the latest music video for Italian hip-hop artist NAYT. The video is a reflection of the three conflicting souls of the artist and track – a visual interpretation depicting his demons and their counterpart in the external world, his journey into adulthood influenced by a troubled past and ultimately the death of his ego and acceptance of these demons.

Each stage is clearly marked by a specific color, respectively red, blue and purple as the combination of the two. These are also the colours used by the artist as an overarching theme in the concept album Mood, expressing his contrasting states of mind and different stages of his life.
Fun fact: Musica Ovunque is the sixth project from the director to earn a Vimeo Staff Pick.
Born in a small town in the north of Italy, Francesco Calabrese has been splitting his time between Milan and Los Angeles since 2012 when his short film Lovely Monster attracted Hollywood’s attention. This led him to be represented by CAA and Artists First, two of the most important talent agencies in the US, and collaborate with Lionsgate to turn the short into a feature. Though he keeps busy by shooting commercials all over the world, he still finds the time to develop film and tv projects, write scripts and shoot personal projects.
Calabrese’s work is defined by a keen eye for flawless photography, a superb understanding of sequence and narrative construction and the ability to tell deeply human, evocative stories. In just over ten years Calabrese has directed hundreds of commercials, music videos, fashion films and short films which have earned him worldwide recognition.
