Speaking exclusively to Pulse, Wande Thomas, an executive producer on the show, said that the selection comes as a full circle moment.
He had worked with Hassani as a producer on his music video half a decade ago. “Collaborating with Ric on this project is almost a full-circle moment. I produced a music video for him over 5 years ago before I ever knew I would direct film and TV,” Thomas said. “Now, we’re working together again in different capacities. I eagerly anticipate his immersion into this project and can’t wait to help him deliver a stellar performance,” he added.
Thomas, for long a creative in the music industry, made the switch from full time creative to executive producer years ago. Through his production company, Urbangidi Showtime he has been responsible for Madeaux Africa, the podcast network that makes Menism and Lowkey Relatable.
