Award-winning songwriter Joey Contreras releases new music video for Ohio, his ode to midwestern boys. The single is taken from the iTunes Pop charting album, Young Kind of Love - which features collaborations with The Voice contestant Loren Allred, DCD2 Records recording artist LOLO, and a host of exciting Broadway talent. Filmed in NY, the quirky video follows the rising songwriter as he falls into an Ohioan fantasy of ballet boys dressed in plaid, overalls and football uniforms.
These ballet boys include Brandon Cournay as the "Ohio Boy", Cesar Brodermann, Benjamin Freedman, Kile Hotchkiss, and NEWSIES star Iain Young.
