← Back | Director | 4 Music Videos
Matthew Daniel Siskin, better known for his professional name, DES, is a force to reckon with in the world of music videos. Through his inspired process, he’s spun stories using the backdrop of catchy tunes, captivating audiences with his idiosyncratic outlook. He’s worked with a variety of artists, covering different genres, from Harry Styles' “Watermelon Sugar,” an intimate affair on a sun-kissed beach, to Maggie Rogers' “Alaska”, a journey into the heart of nature, each music video a work of art in itself.
An interesting aspect about Matthew Siskin is his tendency to tread a non-traditional path; he didn’t follow the old playbook of entering the field via film school or slaving in an underappreciated assistant job. Instead, he began his career designing websites and moved gradually into the world of music videos. This unusual entry into the industry has allowed Siskin to lend a unique perspective to his work, one that pushes boundaries without losing the distinct soul of the music. Moreover, it seems that the universe has a penchant for irony as his work for Beyoncé’s "The Formation World Tour Visuals" — made painstakingly from individual websites — went on to win an Emmy. From the world wide web to worldwide acclaim, Siskin’s journey in the industry is a testament to navigating one’s own path!
