What followed was the realization that they had a genuine passion in “creating dope shit”, as Chas put it, and so Nothing Lost was formed. With strong links in and throughout the music and creative art scene in the UK and abroad, Nothing Lost’s style of honest yet beautiful visuals and storyline has captivated the scene. Shortlisted in the Saatchi & Saatchi New Creators Class of 2019 for the piece called ‘Woke’, the duo are new, fresh thinking, unapologetic and passionate about their craft. They say, “We want to create the visuals and tell the stories that most people can’t, because stories like those last forever.” Earlier this year, Chas and Junior were jointly selected for inclusion in Variety’s 2022 edition of the “10 Europeans to Watch” list.
