Brian Gaskill has many exciting things happening in his life and is eager to share about one in particular: His new foray into music, albeit with a bit of a twist. Instead of making music in the traditional sense, Gaskill is expressing his creativity visually by producing and directing music videos for up and coming independent artists from all over the country. I've been trying to help (these artists) and get them going," Gaskill says, "One person even got a small record deal out of it and it (the video) brought more attention to them than they had before! So it's been helping out the artists a lot." The clips can mainly be seen online and Gaskill adds with a laugh, "I don't think they'll end up on VH1 anytime soon!" Yet he seems to be thoroughly enjoying this form of artistry and helping other artists get their talents noticed.

A few of Gaskill's creations are already receiving attention from other outlets, particularly the clip that was done for singer Ann McCue. "It's being shown in other countries and on the Logo station and also the PBS video shows," he notes proudly, "And the Amelia White one I think will also appear on Logo... Of course, some of this depends on the artists themselves and what their connections are."

This new venture began in Nashville with Gaskill doing impromptu tapings of his musical friends. "I finally decided to put my money where my mouth was," he laughs, "But we just go out there with a camera and make it look as good as it can. It's fortunate that I've gotten a lot of great responses, and now more people are coming to me, which is great!" The one thing that draws Gaskill to making music videos is "I just love storytelling. I love the songs and the script, and the visual storytelling... (The premise) really depends on the song and the artist. Sometimes the story is there but no one really pays attention anyway. It's a mixture of the images and sound. I like stories that are more psychological and I know what they mean, it's in my head and the artist's head and we know what we're doing - but you'd have to really study the video to really get it! There's always a story at some point!" Each video requires a different approach. "I like to meet the artists. I have gut reactions from what I hear in the songs but I want to meet the artists because I want it to really come from them and who they are, and their lives, and sort of combine the two of them together."
