Director Adrian Villagomez Signs With Fela For U.S. and Canadian Representation

Fela has added director and photographer Adrian Villagomez to its diverse roster for representation in the U.S. and Canada. This marks his first U.S. representation. 

Villagomez earned a Best Alternative Video award at the UKMVAs for his collaboration with Jean-Michel Blais on “passepied.” The clip reflected Villagomez’s raw, docu-style approach, peppered with surreal elements. In 2023, the director received a special award from the Canadian Academy of Cinema for his outstanding music videos and their international impact. His powerful compositions evoke magical realism across work with artists including The Kid LAROI, Denzel Curry, Killer Mike, and Skiifall, and brands Xbox, Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Birks, Aldo, and Audi.

Born to a Peruvian father and a French-Canadian mother, the tri-lingual director was raised in Montreal and grew up playing the violin. After touring with his school orchestra, he attended university for film and photography, then parlayed his musical background into traveling the world as a concert tour photographer and he soon began directing music videos for the same artists. Touring with musical acts internationally proved excellent preparation for his move into the fast pace of advertising.
