This is yet another stride in YouTube Red’s plan to bring in more subscribers to its evolving platform. Other projects include a previously-announced series from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, set to be part of the service as well.
Famed music video director Dave Meyers, known for his work with Missy Elliott, Rihanna, and Katy Perry, will be directing “The Keys” special.
“Music is wildly popular on YouTube,” said Ben Relles, YouTube’s head of unscripted originals. “And we’re excited to bring together some of the biggest names in music alongside some of the biggest stars on YouTube.”
The subscription-based YouTube Red features a variety of shows with major YouTube stars, including Lilly Singh, PewDiePie, and more.
