K6 Visuals (also known as K6) is a music video production company and creative studio based in Toronto, Ontario. K6 directs, shoots and edits music videos, visualizers and short-form content for independent hip-hop and rap artists.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada. K6 shoots across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), including Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, Mississauga and Brampton.

Recent music videos include YNM Sleez (“TAKIN DAT RISK”), Cazz (“SELENA”), Lay2neat (“Matic” and “don’t need love”) and KS2X (“BLOODY T”). See them all on the work page.

Send a DM to @k6_visuals on Instagram or fill in the booking form. Include the song, your release date, any reference videos and your budget, and K6 will come back with ideas.

On the work page here, on the artists’ YouTube channels, on K6’s YouTube channel @K6Visuals and on Instagram at @k6_visuals.

It depends on the scope: how many shoot days and locations, the size of the crew, wardrobe and props, and how involved the edit and colour are. A one-location performance video costs far less than a multi-location concept with extras.

K6 quotes each project after hearing the song and the idea. Put your budget in your brief and K6 will tell you what it can deliver for it.

Most independent music videos go from first conversation to final cut over a few weeks: planning and pre-production, one or two shoot days, then the edit and colour. Simple one-location videos can move faster and bigger concepts take longer. Share your release date early so the schedule can work back from it.

Have the final mix of the song, two or three reference videos for the look you want, outfits, a list of everyone appearing, location ideas and your release date. The clearer the brief, the more of the budget goes on screen.

It depends on where you shoot. Filming on City of Toronto property, such as streets, sidewalks and parks, can require a permit from the City’s film office, and private locations need the owner’s permission. Plan locations early so permits and permissions don’t hold up the shoot.

A director owns the idea: the concept, the treatment, how the artist performs and how the story is told. A videographer operates the camera and captures the footage. On smaller productions one person often does both, which is common for independent hip-hop and rap videos.

A treatment is a short document that pitches the video before it is made: the concept, the look and colour, locations, wardrobe, key shots and reference images. It gets the artist, label and crew agreeing on the same video before anyone spends money on a shoot day.

Yes. Alongside the main video, K6 cuts vertical edits, loops and teasers for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts so the release has content for every platform.

Editing and colour are part of K6’s work. K6 is credited as editor on YNM Sleez’s “TAKIN DAT RISK”. If you already have footage, describe it in the booking form and ask about an edit.

K6 is based in Toronto and works across the GTA. For shoots further out, put the location in your brief.
