Nora's Playlist is where Photographer and Music Lover combine forces and become one! When I decided to create Nora's Playlist, the purpose was to share with everyone the music I loved and discovered. As a live Music Photographer and Music Enthusiast, I thought it was the perfect combination to create one space for both my passions.

Music is fuel for my veins, every tune, every lyric, makes a daily impact in my life. I always ask people "What's your favorite band?" "What's your favorite genre?" As humans, I believe we all connect somehow through music, embracing music and people is my muse. In my experience, initiating conversations with music, is a great way to form relationships, it's the "Ice Breaker" and actually that's one of my number one recommendation.

We do media coverage for events, conduct interviews, record warehouse sessions with artists, online live show broadcasting, radio shows, reviews, live music photography, vlogs, blogs and much more!

We are two Chicago based entities working together, side by side, showing the world the greatness of music, the influence it brings to lives and how important music is to the world. Radio One Chicago airs every.

Simon Mustafa is a Milwaukee native emcee & entrepreneur. Simon was raised on Milwaukee’s north side, an area of the city that is often prone to violence, but also home to many of the city’s Hip Hop talent. Simon’s preparation for his journey into the world of Hip Hop began at a young age, when he found an interest in Hip Hop music, and later developed an interest in the written word and began writing his own thoughts and feelings. His main motivation for immersing himself in Hip Hop and writing was a need for his voice to be heard. Being the youngest of three children, he often felt he wasn’t being listened to, and Hip Hop gave him an opportunity to share his thoughts, feelings and opinions in a different way that allowed him more freedom than he felt he had previously.

Simon Mustafa has been greatly influenced by other Midwest artist including Kanye West, Saba, IshDarr & WebsterX. He is part of a young, talented group of emcees that has made Milwaukee a hotbed for Hip Hop talent in recent years.
