New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Grammy-nominated French DJ and producer
DJ Snake releases the video for his single "A Different Way" featuring Lauv today on Vevo. The heart-warming, uplifting video was directed by award-winning director Colin Tilley (DJ Khaled & Rihanna's "Wild Thoughts," Kendrick Lamar's "Alright," Future's "
Mask Off"), who also shot DJ Snake's video for his single "Middle." Tilley's involvement in the video brings the journey of "A Different Way" full circle, as the director also captured DJ Snake's journey in
September through the streets of Paris that culminated in a historic performance atop the Arc De Triomphe where he originally premiered the track. The event was broadcast to over three million fans on Facebook and Instagram Live. Tilley also shot the Beats By Dre short film featuring DJ Snake's story to his rise as part of its #AboveTheNoise global campaign for the newly launched Beats Studio3 Wireless headphone. Watch it here.
Shot in Los Angeles, the video for "A Different Way" prominently features Sheadan Gabriel, a young dancer and actor most known for his work with Justin Bieber, as well as singer, actress, and dancer
Internet personality Montana Tucker.
