Accra, 10 December 2007: Charismatic Ghanaian hip life star Tinny, a.k.a. Tinny Nii Addo Quaynor, is to have a brand new music video shot by sizzling hot US music video director Rachel Watanabe-Batton, with a special cameo appearance by French/Cameroonian turntable ‘royalty’, DJ Prince Charles.

The new video for Tinny’s track, ‘Incomplete’ will be shot on location in Accra by world-class director and producer Watanabe-Batton, as part of the MTV Making the Video with Shell initiative. Watanabe-Batton, who has worked with artists from Nas to Lil Jon, P Diddy, Timbaland, Will Smith, R.E.M and Oasis, will be assisted on the shoot by a group of Ghanaian music video directors participating in the MTV Making the Video with Shell video workshop, which took place in Accra, Ghana w/c 10 December.

Tinny, 25, who has been wowing Ghanaian music lovers since 2003, has earned many fans for his own personal brand of hip hop, in which he sings, raps and composes in a mixture of Twi, Ga and English. Tinny was selected by MTV base after Ghanaian music fans nominated their favourite artists’ names by SMS.

Commented Tinny, ‘Rachel has worked on awesome music videos for A-list artists like Nas and P Diddy, so it’s a fantastic opportunity to work with her to realise my vision for my own music! And the chance to work with DJ Prince Charles and have him appear in my video is just out of this world!’
