Industry Loop – NSK’s monthly favs finale
At the beginning of this year, I started a movement in which I would share my playlist of Namibian songs. I did this the whole year. Music is an extremely deep sport for me. So, to have to do this every single month was exceptionally challenging. It is officially December. I will round off my...

Industry Loop – NSKs monthly favs: Sep/Oct

NSK’s monthly favs: May
Shall we continue what I started about two months ago? So, every month, I have got this thing where I share a personal playlist of Namibian music. This is something I promised to do every month. But as usual, evidently, there is a need to add a bit of a disclaimer: This list that I...
