REAL ONES is a rising Chicago event production company and multimedia music platform.

Originating as a podcast in 2020 as part of the Project FILO creative hub, we sought to keep up with Chicago creatives as they navigated the pandemic, with a focus on up-and-coming artists. Since recording the first episode on a park bench on an iPhone, we’ve interviewed over 100 creatives from Chicago and beyond, becoming a go-to for news on the city's best rising talent.
