My First Love’s Artist Cafe is a celebration of the life and love shared between the founder and her first love, Norel Kaleb McAdoo (better known as rapper and community leader CEO Norel). His sudden passing in January at the age of 24 years old did not allow them the opportunity to collaborate creatively or share their dreams of establishing more safe spaces for underprivileged artists to grow. This artist cafe was born not only to honor his amazing legacy and the impact carried by his open mics and music label SIMO Studios (directed by sister, Jamee McAdoo), but also allow the love they shared to continue to live on and achieve the dreams that shaped their experiences together. The inaugural MFLAC will be held on October 27th to celebrate his 25th birthday.
CEO Norel,
NO ONE REALER EVER LIVED
Thank you for inspiring our cafe!
