Posted on the 22 December 2016 by Music Creates Us @musiccreatesus

Working on Music Creates Us allows us to share some awesome stories, interviews with talented people and artists, and of course, incredible music. We’ve had another great year and wanted to highlight some of the best features from 2016. Do you have any favorites?

Interview: Catherine Powell of NKD Mag
The young entrepreneur spoke with us about how she got her start in the music industry, her photography business, and how she continues to run her magazine, NKD Mag.

Feature Friday: Saya
After hitting the music scene with her debut single, “Wet Dreams,” we at MCU have been keeping a close eye on what the singer/songwriter does next. She continued to impress with followup single, “No Pressure,” that seamlessly combines pop, trap, and hip-hop.

Behind The Song: The Chainsmokers’ “Closer”
Of course we needed to show some love to the song of 2016. Alex and Drew told us about writing process, and the events leading up to “Closer.”

Your Story: Carly DiCocco’s 50th O.A.R. Show
