On the heels of the release of his debut single âCloser,â actor-turned-singer-songwriter, Rob Mayes, has premiered the corresponding music video for the catchy track.Directed by Christine Solomon, the music video illustrates a lighthearted romance between Mayes and on-screen love interest, Ana Kharisova Carter. The rising artist was able to tap back into his acting roots during the filming process, as he stars in the video. Shot over the course of three days in Malibu and Griffith Park, the video features some of Mayesâ favorite spots in Los Angeles, where he calls home. The music video âCloserâ was a collaborative effort by some of Hollywoodâs top editors including, Richard Wells, VFX artist Carl Stern (âThe Walking Dead,â âNarcos,â âThe Jungle Bookâ), post-production producer David Brown (âOutlanderâ) and the Picture Shop led by Tom Kendall (âHawaii Five-0,â âNCIS: New Orleans,â âThe Middleâ). âWhen we were brainstorming for the concept of this music video we wanted the viewers to feel like they were coming along on a date with me to all of my favorite locations in LA. We wanted it to feel real and fun,â commented Mayes. Mayes has loved seeing the response to his recent releases, âCloserâ and âRoad With No Lines.â Both have been featured on the Spotify editorial playlist, âNew Music Nashvilleâ and âCloserâ has received airplay from Country radio stations across the US. Mayes looks forward to seeing how his fans respond to the release of the âCloserâ music video along with his forthcoming debut EP which is set to drop inthe coming months. Although Mayes is excited about kicking off his musical journey, he is already well seasoned the entertainment industry. As an actor, Mayes was a series regular on ABCâs âMistressesâ and starred in the cult classic âJohn Dies at the Endâ with Paul Giamatti, which premiered at Sundance Film Festival.
