🎤 New FAM Podcast Episode Ft. Chef Tova Sterling
This month at Film, Fashion, Art, Music & Media, we hosted a captivating evening with Chef Tova Sterling, a celebrity private chef and content creator who has redefined culinary entertainment. Our intimate fireside chat explored Tova's unconventional journey from getting kicked out of culinary school to cooking for celebrities like Paul McCartney and J-Lo, to building a devoted following of over 125,000 Instagram followers with her deadpan "Wednesday Addams" approach to cooking content.
The live recording of this insightful and candid conversation is now available as part of our podcast series! Tune in here:

🎸 New Performance Video ft. The E-Block
Rotterdam meets Williamsburg as The E-Block transforms our space with their signature blend of acoustic warmth and ice-cold R&B rhythms. Watch Luke, Devin, Aaron, and Daniel channel modern soul through "Number One"—a moment where singer-songwriter intimacy meets the groove that's earned them recognition across the New York scene.
This is what happens when our FAM salon becomes a stage: four-piece chemistry filling the room, creative communities connecting through sound, and the kind of live energy that reminds you why music brings people together.
Watch here:
We're so excited to bring the performances that happen in our home to creative communities everywhere through this medium! Help us keep them going by subscribing to our channel below ❤
