Who is a music artist that is\u00a0accessible\u00a0to me who has no music videos for their project. I remembered shooting the album release party for Von Pea&#8217;s solo album in 2010 and wondered why no video was ever shot for it. So I contacted him and offered to shoot\u00a0something\u00a0for free (meaning with no budget).
