Nomadik Spins
Call her Marie or call her Nomadik, it doesn't matter. She's one of the few female voices putting her own spin on the hip-hop, R&B and jazz on the airwaves and in the clubs of Boston.
Along with her Friday night gig on MIT's WMBR, Nomadik mixes intelligent hip-hop at Harper's Ferry and at gigs she produces through her SoulKore Productions.
She graduated from Emerson College this spring, having started on the school's WERS "Jazz Oasis" show eight years ago.
"I love bringing people together, but I get tired of going to shows and seeing men run everything," she says. "We need to show off our talents without it all being about looking sexy."
If you're into Common's Finding Forever instead of Snoop or prefer Letia Larok over Missy, watch for Nomadik's SoulStage show in June.
DJ NOMADIK IS FEATURED IN a PREVIOUS ISSUE OF BOSTON'S WEEKLY DIG MAGAZINE (7/18-7/24)
SHE'S RECOGNIZED AS A CORE DJ OF THE BOSTON SCENE...

In addition to her DJing, Nomadik founded her own entertainment company called SoulKore Productions which organizes, promotes, manages artists, & "Provides quality cultural entertainment" for the Boston area & beyond. SoulKore has been creating shows & events on an on-going basis since 2001. Their first party (just 2 weeks after 9-11 tragedy) sold out within the 1 st hour at the legendary House of Blues. Since then, SoulKore has gone on to produce various events representing the true flavor of hip hop & all other forms of cultural entertainment.
Nomadik is also WMBR radio's Urban Promotions Director and is a Malika & Head of the Universal Zulu Nation Boston Chapter. (The Universal Zulu Nation was founded by Afrika Bambaataa in 1973).

have a positive outlook on life, are full of enterprise, energy, versatility, adventurousness and eagerness to extend experience beyond the physically familiar. They enjoy travelling and exploration, the more so because their minds are constantly open to new dimensions of thought.
They are basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many disappointments without being affected. They are honorable, honest, trustworthy, truthful, generous and sincere, with a passion for justice. They are usually on the side of the underdog in society they will fight for any cause they believe to be just, and are prepared to be rebellious. They balance loyalty with independence.
