MINI-BIOGRAPHY OF DJ FUSION & THE FUSEBOX RADIO BROADCAST (UPDATED: September 2009):

Umm, OK....I'm DJ Fusion (real name: Mary Nichols), a short (5 feet tall even), above average looking (I think at least a "B", even if a low one....) African-American female DJ who is a graduate of Rutgers University (c/o 2001; Rutgers College) with a degree in American Studies and a minor in History.

I'm a Radio, Mixtape & Club DJ, with my main music focus being in the genres of Hip-Hop, Breakbeats, Reggae, Funk, Acid Jazz, Soul, House, Disco, DC GoGo, Electronica, Rock and Classics - Black Music in general, both independent and mainstream.

Since its foundation in 1998 - when I created the show as an undergraduate student at Rutgers University - New Brunswick in New Jersey - the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast has been around to expose the absolute BEST of Hip-Hop & Soul Music from all over the world (and Black Music in general) along with bringing quality interviews, news, and commentary. Along with fellow co-host/DJ/Producer/Partner Jon Judah (added on as part of the FuseBox Radio crew in 2004), we try our best to stick to that mission and bring great sounds, vibe and content to the masses - what Black Radio (not "Urban Radio") was/is all about.

From it's roots at Rutgers University Radio (WRSU 88.7 FM), the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast is a 3 hour mixshow that has spread to the following internet radio stations and outlets (as of September 2009):

UrbanNetwork.com's The Mix Internet Radio Station - UN Power Jam Radio (owned by Urban Network Magazine), OKRP.com, ReeWineMusic.com/ReeWine Radio, Progressive Blend Radio, MixLaWax Radio, StreetsD.com (Streets Mos Magazine Radio), Trunk Hustlers Online, 907 Jamz, The6.FM, Nilo Radio, 1.FM Jamz, Blayze University Radio, Blip.TV, HipHopHoney.com, iBlog126.com, True Fire Radio, Miro, WSOUF.com, TheBestJams.com/The Best Jams Radio, FlyTunes.FM/FlyCast, HipHopSoulRadio.com, Digiwaxx Presents: The Blast, White Folks Get Crunk for DJs, Planet Urban (Austrailia)/PlanetUrban.com.au, Sprint Radio Extra/mSpot (via the Worldwide Alpha Communications Network), The Best Jams, ExtravaGangsta Radio, SouthBound.FM, DeadBeat Radio, CrackAudio.com, AmalgamDigital.com, BlockJams.com, ConspiracyUK.com, FONYE Radio, VI Radio, DurdeeSouthRadio.com, Beyond.FM, MyBlockRadio.net, Rutgers University Radio, WRSU 88.7 FM (currently on hiatus), Stop Beefin' Start Eatin' Radio, Ceesiety Radio, Mixshow Blast Radio, Slip-N-Slide DJs Podcast, Legion Music & Media, UnderWorldMixRadio.com, Rock The Dub, Last Word Online, Soul Pitch Hustle, Black Soul Rhythms, Honey Magazine, The PRess Junkie, I95.FM, Ground Up Radio (NEW OUTLET!), Radio CPR 97.5 FM (FuseBox Radio: Capital Mixdown Show), PlanetIll.com (Coming Soon), BlackCoffeeChannel.com (Coming Soon), Gutta Muzik (HD) Radio (Coming Soon)

The syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast also a broadcast partner with journalist Glen Ford's Black Agenda Report (http://www.BlackAgendaReport.com) and the HBCU (Historically Black College and University) Radio Network's Direct EFX (http://www.myspace.com/directefx101) to bring extra syndicated programming segments of news, entertainment and commentary.

Under the business, FuseBox Media LLC, I also engage freelance article writing for various Internet and paper publications and do various music projects (music production, mixtape hosting & production, etc.).

The official blog of the FuseBox Radio Broadcast was established in October of 2007, BlackRadioIsBack.com (http://www.BlackRadioisBack.com). BlackRadioIsBack.com is a writen extension of the radio show and contains things such as music, book and movie reviews, editorials, world news highlights and more.

The main areas I have done live DJ sets and events have been in the New Jersey, New York City, Philadelphia & DC Metro areas. Some of the clubs, lounges and stores where the FuseBox Radio Broadcast has represented include SOBS, the National Black Theatre in Harlem, the Bowery Poetry Club, Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Barnard College @ Columbia University, Rutgers University, Club Platinum, Rebar Lounge, D'Palace, African Globe Studios, Flava Lounge, Hunter College, NY Brands Clothing Store, Laila Lounge, Halcyon, 169 Bar, The Court Tavern, the C-Note, DJ Hut and the Remote Lounge, amongst others.

During my student history, I was a part of lining up shows for various student organizations at Rutgers University - New Brunswick and non-profit organizations for Hip-Hop Artists, Authors, Lecturers, etc. to get exposure, including being the President & one of the co-founders of the Rutgers University Student Community of Hip-Hop (aka RUSCH, the 1st Hip-Hop organization @ Rutgers University) from August 2000 - August 2002.

Since 1998, I have also been a part of the African New Dawn Radio Broadcast staff at Rutgers University Radio (WRSU 88.7 FM) with Alvin Fair.
