Bio
Michael Holyk, a Nottingham native with a vibrant mix of Italian and Ukrainian heritage, boasts an impressive career as a film director spanning over 15 years. However, his journey in the creative realm began at a remarkably young age.
Michael delved into the music industry when he was just 18, a formative experience that laid the foundation for his later success. This early start provided him with a deep understanding of the intricacies and nuances of the music world.
Notably, he launched his career at the iconic BBC Radio 1 and 1xtra, where his passion for music and storytelling thrived.
In 2011, Michael embarked on his directorial journey by crafting music videos for an emerging local talent, the then-unknown Jake Bugg. Since that pivotal moment, he has had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse array of renowned artists, including Sam Smith, Rudimental, Becky Hill, Rag'n'Bone Man, Anne-Marie, Niall Horan, and many more.
Michael's directorial style is a unique blend of cinematic and documentary-like elements. He has a knack for capturing the essence of his subjects, whether it's an artist's raw emotion in a music video or the authentic human experiences in his documentary-style work.
Beyond the realm of music, Michael's directorial prowess extends to high-profile campaigns for industry giants such as Apple, Beats, and Amazon. He cherishes his three-month stint directing in Bollywood as an entertaining tidbit about his eclectic career.
