Director Taz Tron Delix Signs with KODE
Continuing their commitment to investing in original, and craft-hungry talent, KODE welcomes Taz Tron Deliz to their London-based production studio, for UK representation. Driven by building new worlds through motion, speed, texture and colour, Taz directs and manipulates his creations into hyperextensions of reality. “My work generally falls into a world of surrealism. When following the unknown, boundless possibilities of fantasy and imagination can appear, whilst still being rooted in some kind of truth.” he explains.
Taz looks for beauty in the rawness, the darkness, and the unexpected, whilst always following his innate human instincts when making creative choices. Naturally, this makes his style authentic to himself, even within the wild worlds he creates. His art of using mixed-media, post-production and in-camera techniques has elevated the tone and impact of his commercial campaigns to create a unique catalogue of work for Brewdog, Chivas, EA Sports, Doc Martens, Major League Baseball and more.
Taz’s stellar career in music videos has also landed him some of the most celebrated collaborations in the industry. Championing the rebellious and the righteous, Taz’s obsession with celebrating rich cultural backgrounds has seen his work for Stormzy, Joy Crookes and Oscar #Worldpeace earn multiple award nominations and wins. Most notably taking Gold at the Creative Circle Awards for Best Music Video for Positive Change.
“The UK flavour influences all of my work” says Taz. With empowering the viewer at the heart of his imagery, in 2020 against a backdrop of the BLM movement Taz released ‘Superheroes’ with Stormzy. The fully animated music video perfectly captured that pivotal moment in history and celebrated black excellence. “I always want to represent the diversity I see and live amongst, within my work. That’s the reality of London – it’s a diverse place.” he adds.
Upon joining KODE Taz says “It’s 2024, the year is full of potential and I’m ready to dive right in with the full support of the incredible KODE family behind me. Over the last few months, I've had the pleasure of working closely with KODE’s phenomenal team, experiencing first hand their infectious energy, dedication and shared passion to make incredible work. I’m sure it will be a fruitful year full of wild adventures.”
Jack Goodwin, executive producer of KODE adds, “Taz expresses himself in a multitude of ways, which I find inspiring. Previously I watched his work from afar and last year I was fortunate to create things with him, and it was at that time that I really began to understand the breadth of his talents. I’m pleased that he has chosen KODE to be his home and look forward to the ways in which we can challenge each other to become the best."
