Tampa native, Singer-songwriter, actor & performer Deejay Young, renowned for his work in the First National Tour of the hit-musical HAMILTON & memorable appearances as a contestant on NBC’s The Voice, announces the release of his directorial & screen debut, HISstory: PRIMITIVE, on Tubi.
Years in the making, this award-winning independent film, featuring music from Young’s chart-topping album PRIMITIVE, explores themes of self-love, freedom, and liberation through breathtaking visuals & soulful R&B/Pop-infused music.
Filmed at various locations of Central Florida in 2020 & captured by Emmy® winning cinematographer Herb Maximo, the film is more than simply a music video anthology, but a cinematic journey that brings to life the stories and emotions of Young’s album, which debuted at #4 on the U.S. R&B Albums Chart on iTunes in 2020. The film combines intimate dialogue, original choreography, spoken word, & behind-the-scenes footage, offering a profound exploration of his personal growth & empowerment.
“I wanted to create a visual representation that does justice to the themes & emotions conveyed in my album PRIMITIVE,” said Deejay Young. “This film is a celebration of self-discovery & the liberation that comes with not only loving, but fully embracing who you are. It’s an honor to share this journey with the world through such a powerful medium.”
The indie film has already garnered critical acclaim, winning Critics' Pick at the Tampa Bay Art & Film Festival in 2023. The film promises to be a visual & auditory feast, resonating deeply with audiences through its compelling storytelling and stunning cinematography.
