Tyga – Hotel California Album Cover
A few months ago, Jonathan Mannion headed west to collaborate with LA native Tyga on his third studio album titled “Hotel California.” It was shot on location in a beautiful mansion in Malibu with incredible views of the Pacific. As Jonathan describes it… “We had another tough day at the ‘office’ working with the young powerhouse TYGA, stunningly beautiful ladies, lavish but tastefully curated gold chains, furs galore in every shade imaginable… and, the crowning jewel… a gorgeous bengal tiger.” With trained handlers present the entire time, the images are 100% true and real, no photoshop “drop in” of the tiger in post.
TYGA, the tiger & supporting cast put on an incredible performance to yield a set of truly powerful images.
Album available now!
The trailer for the album can be watched HERE

VIDEO WORLD PREMIERE: TRINIDAD JAMES “FEMALES WELCOMED”
https://vimeo.com/62815774
This past February, Mannion headed off to Trinidad and Tobago for two things: his 9th Carnival experience and, more importantly, to direct the music video for Trinidad James’ second single “Females Welcomed”. With a small crew, it was all hands on deck for a couple days working with incredible locations, half-naked beautiful women, fire breathers, rum, and festive carnival goers all filmed in Trinidad James’ hometown of St. James district in Port of Spain, Trinidad.

Yesterday was DAY 1 in a 2 day video shoot for “Females Welcomed” with Trinidad James (AKA St. JAMES… as I nicknamed him). It’s safe to say that we shut it down!
Shooting on NELSON & QUEEN streets in Port of Spain in the morning and then shutting down St. James near Smokey & Bunty at night, we put on the MANNION FETE with Trinidad James ripping the mic and a special guest appearance from the king of soca Machel Montano. The streets were in a frenzy as these two powerhouses blessed the crowd!
Today is DAY 2… stay tuned for some more photos!!!
