We took the oppurtunity to shoot the second artist in our CDR Presents series with Diz Gibran, because "CDR Presents" is more personal than our in-studio interviews, its a conversation if you want to call it that, except Im holding a camera lol, but for our fans it helps you to connect a little more with artists than you normally could listening to the sometimes structured radio interview.
