Mada Nile |Biography

Her early years, spent with her mother and nine brothers in the Paradise Project in St. Croix, were not always easy, but she considers them her best. There she and friends would go under trees and barren apartments to make music by beating biscuit pans, wash pans, buckets, bottles, and cans, or anything that would make a sound. Her mother’s love of music exposed her to different styles such as Bob Marley, Israel Vibrations, Lucky Dubi,Teddy Pendergrass, and others, to which she credits her love of music- her devotion ever since high school.

“The youths are the light, so we have to make them shine and keep their light burning bright.” – Mada “Fyah” Nile

She has three albums to her credit, most recently On My Way, which follows closely on the heel’s of Many Roads. On My Way features 14 songs dealing with topics of truth, rights, relationships, farming, hard work, family, love and Rastafari. She serves as the voice of the people, and her new single "I Would Like to See" is an unstoppable anthem of uplifting spiritual power to combat the senseless violence plaguing St. Croix and other communities. Past V.I. Radio hits have included “Why,” “Mother,” and “Empress Loving” from her debut.

Tours have taken her to the East and West coasts of the United States, and throughout the Caribbean. She has shared the stage with artists such as Beres Hammond, Tanya Stephens, Sabbatical Andah, Capleton, Dezarie, and Ras Attitude. We are proud to have her back home in St. Croix for Tempo Turns 4!
