Crazy Birds

A 21st century guide to new music, art, media and lifestyle. In a digital world where so many new things can be discovered, this is the place where the good things in life collide.

Digital Playground

Crazy Birds started out as a digital business card for Amsterdam based entrepreneur Gijs van der Togt, trained as an urban sociologist and experienced in media, concept development and (copy) writing. After working for several media companies, the urge to develop something new emerged. Crazy Birds, a daily updated digital playground for a savvy audience was born. Nowadays fuelled with help from contributors in media, music, fashion and art.

Partnerships

There’s no good content without smart partnerships. For us, collaboration is crucial. Therefore, we are always on the look out for promising artists creating new, exciting things. Crazy Birds is a platform for advertising agencies, media companies, record companies and ofcourse brands to highlight their products. Do mind we only curate good things. Check the projects section for more information.

Meet Mayer Hawthorne

When we found out promising soul artist Mayer Hawthorne was in town, we got excited and decided to do a short film about him with help from our friends at Mamamess and Rush Hour.

Viral

We strongly believe in content-driven short films, made from the heart. Because we discovered this artist in an early stage, the amount of attention from various print magazines and internet-media was overwhelming.

The Mayer is in Town

Posted in Archive

Mijn ontmoeting met Mayer Hawthorne, geschoten op een boot in Amsterdam. Mayer is de beste debuterende soulartiest van het jaar. Ik heb het met hem over Detroit, zijn label Stones Throw, zingen, nieuw werk en natuurlijk zijn album A Strange Arrangement gehad. Video komt van Mamamess

Check ook nog even mijn first hand review van zijn album, en koop het via Rush Hour.
