Nabiel Musleh has carved a deep niche in San Francisco culture.
From creating large-scale experiential installations to bringing new, unique dining experiences to our locals, there isn’t much in the San Francisco scene that Mr. Musleh has not touched. He is a highly experienced creator of cultural trends, advisor, serial entrepreneur and a creative force in defining the popular. His work involves innovating great ideas into cultural movements at the crossroads of taste, feel and experience.
While he claims to have come from a background as a promoter, this is somewhat of an understatement. Nabiel created what became San Francisco’s largest and longest running nightclubs, hosting over 200 parties each year. His parties expanded to Mexico, Ibiza, Miami, borne from a clear love for creating memorable experiences, a theme typical in all of his work.
Nabiel firmly believes that art, music, technology, lighting and the social being converge side-by-side to create memorable, immersive experiences. With this vision, Nabiel grew his cultural portfolio, owning and operating successful restaurants, bars, nightclubs, cafésand even retail businesses.
His progress refuses to slow. Nabiel was appointed by San Francisco’s Mayor, London Breed, as a San Francisco Arts Commissioner and served on the transition team for Arts and Tourism of San Francisco. He maintains ownership and board positions in a portfolio of companies and non-profit institutions, including the notable large-scale events production company, Immersive Environments, as well as serving on the Burning Man Board of Advisors to the Black Rock Arts City Foundation (BRAF) and the Board Member and Chair of the Economic Development Committee of Greater Rincon Hill Community Benefit District on of the most dynamic and dense neighborhoods in San Francisco.
