Mike Portoghese
Director
In 2001 I began directing music videos where my work has since received multiple #1 videos on Canadian television as well as millions of views on Youtube.Â
I’ve worked with a wide range of artists including Grammy and Juno winners like Sam Roberts, The Darcys, Ps I Love You, Danny Fernandes, Belly, Rick Ross, Beenie Man, Delerium, Snow, etc.Â
In 2011 I won a Much Music Video Award for Danny Fernandes f. Belly – ‘Automatic.’Â Â Much Music also ranked it as the #44th best video of the last decade.
