Nosha Luv

From an early age, she was immersed in music, influenced by her stepfather’s massive record collection and her grandmother’s cherished 45s. Nosha Luv’s journey into the House scene began under the mentorship of DJ Rush, who she initially knew as Isaiah. This early connection introduced her to a vibrant community of DJs, where she learned the craft, attended parties, and forged lasting friendships.

Her DJ career took shape with a show she curated alongside her then-husband, Chris Ray, called "Nice Night 4 A Jam," which they launched after returning to the scene in 2007. Nosha Luv would play a 2-hour set, showcasing her deep record collection in a selector style, while Chris would handle the rest of the show. They invited local DJs as guests, many of whom have since become international sensations. After her split from Chris in 2010, Nosha Luv was determined to keep the show alive. She took on the challenge of learning how to DJ, which led to the unique style she brings to the scene today. Her sets are known for their “grooves that make you move,” and she continues to curate musical vibes at venues all around Chicago.
