2 Usuf Khan's Experience

1 Managing Director

1 Paradox Media Group, LLC

December 2010 - Present (3 years 6 months) Chicago

Paradox Media Group, LLC is the brain child of Usuf Khan that started as a

free lancing project that allowed him the flexibility to instigate and

explore different forms of arts and media. As time went on it evolved into

a larger platform for like minded creative people from all walks of life to

shadow the uniqueness of the services provided under one umbrella.

Paradox is a just a normal organization run by a group of radio controlled

monkeys, who think something needs to be done rather than just existing. We

are a philosophy evolved on the roots of absolute ambiguity and indulgence

in the art form. We as a company visualize being the downright in your face

experience. Being open to criticism is one thing but to harness the essence

of absolute perfection with the fruit of creativity to take its course is

another.

Paradox Media Group is a firm that offers artists ranging from all genres

of music and visual arts to be grouped in management format where their

bookings and their creative path as artists are nurtured into making them a

market success. The company is also heavily involved in creating customized

viral video and print media campaigns for all artists involved.
