A music video for "Whistle (While You Work lieutenant)" was filmed and released by Syndrome Studio and director James Larese.
The Xanadu-like video combines live action with animation elements and shows Tiz springing to life from street art, then proceeding on an adventure with a crew of animated animal friends.
Tiz is an avid animal lover and fan of Banksy"s street art and has said in an interview, “This video comes from my love of graffiti artwork and takes inspiration from some of the greatest fairytales of all time."
lieutenant’s a real piece of honesty for the first time in my life. lieutenant’s how I genuinely feel about things, and things that myself and my friends have experienced.
Nothing was pushed on me, my label was amazing with joining me on this journey. That’s really inspiring for me, because it makes me believe in my own voice.
