helping musicians grow, get seen and get heard

film, content and music marketing for independent artists

Your music is only the beginning

You've made the music. Great. Now what?

That's my bit. I make the films, help you figure out the content and work with artists on what happens around the release.

Basically, you make the music and I help it to find the people who will love it.

Stuff we've made

A few things I've made for artists, brands and people with interesting stories to tell.

Nate James - The Man I Am

We've created a lot more than music videos since 2020.

This project is a good example of how I work with artists beyond just filming music videos and content.

I helped plan the release, got involved in the recording process and worked through some of the bigger marketing decisions.

I then produced the music videos, live and interview content and created social content around the release.

This is a project that involves making the film content as well as building a whole world around the music.

EM Kane - Wasted Time

Three acts, three shots and one story.

EM Kane came to me with a great but simple concept. Howevber I felt the song deserved a bigger story.

The entire video is built around just three shots, using clever, organic transitions to move from one act to the next.

Keeping the structure tight also gave us more opportunities to pull out different moments for social content, without the video feeling like it was made for social.

Barefoot Junkie

A totally different world but the same approach.

I’ve worked with Barefoot Junkie for around eight years, running their YouTube channel and creating all of their video content.

I write, direct and shoot the videos, as well as representing the brand on camera. They trust me to understand the audience, come up with the ideas and get on with making the content.

There’s no list waiting for me to tick off. They trust me to decide what’s worth making, and I deliver it.

Singer/songwriter

"Paul is such an easy-going all round nice guy!
His skills and eye for detail, are second to none.
I needed a promotional video for my single 'Runaway'
and was absolutely over the moon with the results.

Paul is a dream to work with, calm under pressure and
delivered what I asked for!"

Daniel Hume

Director, Barefoot Junkie

"Monoki have always and continue to go above and beyond what we ask.

We had an identity before but it
was a little disjointed. Monoki have brought consistency and focus.

Paul and his team understand our needs very well
and just work in the background to deliver their magic, And magic it is".

Nate James

Award winning singer/songwriter

"Such a pleasure to work with this incredible man and company,
Professional to the hilt, nurturing and the results are mind bowing.

We've created 6 music videos, a whole album relese campaign, a brand for unsigned
artists and there's a documentary in the works.

Who knows what we'll achieve next."

Eleanor Kane

Singer/songwriter

"The team at Monoki Media are incredible
and I loved working with them.

They were efficient, patient and creative when doing
the music video for my debut single."

How I made this video: Nate James - 1Kind

by Paul Mumford • 18 September 2026

Producing music videos during the Covid pandemic was a bit like cooking with half the ingredients missing—you had to get creative, or go hungry. I ended up making three music videos during the Covid pandemic and with each attempt the projects got braver, stranger, and more ambitious. This one might just be my favourite. Not just because of the finished video, but because of the problems I had to solve to make it.

Why You Should Leave Some Mistakes In Your Videos

by Paul Mumford • 18 September 2026

Your videos don’t need to be perfect. In fact, striving for perfection can often make them about as exciting as watching paint dry. When you're making videos as a musician, there's a temptation to tidy everything up. Get the perfect take. Remove the stumbles. Cut out the bit where you forget what you were saying. Edit out anything that makes you look slightly less than completely in control. Sometimes that's exactly what you shouldn't do. A mistake can be the bit that makes the video feel human.

Before You Make a Video, Know Who You're Talking To

17 September 2026

You've got a new song. You've got a video idea. You've got your phone, your camera, your mate who reckons they're pretty good at filming stuff... You're ready to go. Except there's one thing you should work out before you hit record.
