Videographer Jeremiah Davis and Drew Taggart of The Chainsmokers in Edinburgh, February 2017

Jeremiah Davis will go to nearly any length to give fans the most authentic view of The Chainsmokers. Most recently, the videographer accompanied The Chainsmokers to nine Asian cities from Sept. 7 to Sept. 17. Davis’ most pressing task was to create recap videos from each city, and with the accelerated tour pace, there was no time to second-guess or overly edit. The result? The rawest content of The Chainsmokers that Davis has ever given fans.

At just 23 years old, Davis has been part of The Chainsmokers team in some capacity since producing drone footage for the duo’s record-breaking “Closer” lyric video, which he shot in May 2016 (since its release in July 2016, the clip has become the most-viewed lyric video on YouTube, surpassing the 1 billion mark). Davis’ role has allowed him to get to know Alex Pall and Drew Taggart personally, motivating him to portray them as the hardworking, kind men he works with on a daily basis to those who can only judge them from afar as two EDM dudes jumping around onstage.

“Biggest misconception is that they really have the best intentions at heart to inspire people through their music in the most positive way possible,” Davis says of The Chainsmokers. “Every time I go on tour with them, I’m always blown away by the push and the hard-work element of their flow.”
