The Beach is Just the Beginning for Jervez Lee
Jervez Lee is a drone enthusiast turned professional videographer and marketing manager. The stunning aerial footage you see on the Wadadlivity home page is filmed and edited by Jervez.
Jervez has managed to capture the imagination and hearts of viewers around the world. His unique brand of wanderlust offers a fresh take on Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism sector. With some of his videos garnering over 10 million views, it’s safe to say he knows what he’s doing.

The self-taught maven attributes his drone flying skills to YouTube University and a childhood playing video games. Before he immersed himself in filming, he simply practiced flying, taking his drone along on hikes and trips to the beach.
YouTube also opened his eyes to potential careers in real estate and travel. A content creator he followed described being flown out by hotels to capture drone footage for their marketing campaigns.
Jervez is far from being an overnight success. It took two and a half years to gain his first 10k followers. “Reels weren’t that important. [Instagram] was about pictures and family moments. The algorithm wasn’t geared towards growth and branding.”
Through an exceptional work ethic and a genuine passion for honing his craft, his audience size exploded to 10 times that. He posted new content every single day of 2022. A video of Sting Ray City cemented his place in the elusive algorithm.

Jervez is fast approaching the 250k follower mark on Instagram and shows no signs of slowing down. “Every time I go to the beach I see something different. I look at it from a different perspective so it’s never boring to me.” He’s built a name for himself amongst local resorts and tour operators, but he isn’t limiting himself to our twin island shores. “I want to travel the world and put my skills to use for large hotels.”
We think the future looks sunny for Jervez. Follow him on Instagram via @jervezlee._.
