“I have dreamed of doing Melody for years, with the vision of transmitting messages of empowerment in a wonderful world full of music and adventures”, says Jeremy Zag. “As a pop star, Melody is adored by her fans, but as a young artist, she struggles with insecurity. On this journey of self-discovery, she realizes that the key to fulfilling her life’s dreams is that she must learn to love herself first. Katy Perry’s journey to stardom is embodied in Melody and given her career-long passion for being an inspiration to her fans, she is the perfect collaborator for our animated film.”
“The great pop stars live in golden castles, they are famous among the paparazzi, but for a girl there is passion and fear. And I’ve never seen anyone as creative as Katy, who embodies this character so well,” Zag added.
