Julia Michaels - Becoming (Vevo LIFT)

#VevoLIFT Julia Michaels loves self-expression and sees tattooing as a kind of parallel to the creative process that has made her a star in the last two years. “You’re trusting someone to put something so permanent on your body; it’s the same with songwriting, where you have someone come in and help you articulate words into an emotion – there’s a trust there.” Michaels has several tats, but to celebrate the arrival of her debut album ‘Nervous System,’ she decided to add another. ‘Becoming Julia Michaels’ follows our LIFT artist to see her favorite body artist, London Reese, at The Black Lantern in Dana Point, CA. She was getting a “KISS HERE” message put on her neck, and as we documented the process, Michaels explained the inspiration behind some of her previous choices, including a graphic of a heart on a sleeve and the essential “JUST BREATHE.” Julia Michaels on Vevo: https://www.vevo.com/artist/julia-michaels Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/VEVO Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/VEVO Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vevo/ Watch music videos at: http://www.vevo.com Get the Vevo app: http://smarturl.it/vevoapps Julia Michaels https://twitter.com/imjmichaels https://www.instagram.com/imjmichaels https://www.facebook.com/juliamichaels DIRECTED BY: Evan Cohen, Lori Schmon PRODUCERS: Evan Cohen, Lori Schmon EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Tom Connaughton, JP Evangelista, Joseph Patel DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY: Brendan Calder EDITOR: Jake Hostetter PRODUCTION COORDINATOR: Hailey Rovner CAMERA: Will Start ASSISTANT CAMERA: Dawson Taylor AUDIO MIXER: Durand Trench GAFFER: Silvestre Rios ELECTRIC: John Frady, Josh Aidikoff SET DECORATION: Gregory Shultz PRODUCTION ASSISTANT: Eric Cruz PHOTOGRAPHER: Catie Laffoon COLOR CORRECTION: Lika Kumoi SOUND MIX: Mike Levesque, Jr. at Plush NYC SOUND EDITOR: John Nathans MAKEUP ARTIST: Molly Greenwald HAIRSTYLIST: Brian Fisher SPECIAL THANKS: London Reese & The Black Lantern http://vevo.ly/y9vwX9
