If This Doesn’t Work…

Videographer Banga Jaxon stopped by If This Doesn’t Work… to talk about what it’s really like shooting music videos in Philly, Baltimore, and Delaware. From chaotic rap shoots, dangerous situations, fake money, contracts, and late-night calls, to working with bigger names, staying neutral in the scene, and why authenticity matters more than fame. This one goes all over the place in the best way.We also get into how Banga got started, why he moved from rapping into videography, the difference between a cheap video and a big-budget one, the weirdest concepts he’s been asked to shoot, mental health, therapy, and somehow NSYNC, Eminem, and screamo all end up in the conversation too.If you like behind-the-scenes music industry stories, real talk, and funny chaos, this episode is for you.Check out Banga:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealbangajaxon/Follow the Podcast:📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifthisdoesntworkpodcast?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==🎵 TikTok Main: https://www.tiktok.com/@thejustintimee?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc🎵 TikTok Clips: https://www.tiktok.com/@itdw_clips?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc#podcast #musicvideo #videography
