--------- bahmadia bio ----------
There is no doubt that Bahamadia loves music - This Philadelphia native has lived and breathed it for years.
In fact, many musical scholars credit Bahamadia as being one of the original MC’s to put Philly on the hip hop map in a major way.
Initially a DJ, Bahamadia switched trades when female MC's such as Lady B, Sha-Rock (Funky 4 Plus More), and Salt and Pepa entered
the rap game. By becoming one of the most sought after artists on the Philly underground scene, Bahamadia earned the respect that
allows her to declare in song, "Back in Philly, people say I'm Da Jawn." Her formidable rhyme skills, unceasingly honed since the
earliest days of Rap, and her progressive musical outlook, make her more than just an incredible MC. Bahamadia is an innovative
talent recognized in various musical genres as a forerunner of tomorrow’s music.
In 1996, EMI Records released Bahamadia's critically acclaimed debut album entitled "Kollage" on its Chrysalis label.
"Kollage," which Bahamadia described as, " various blends and mixtures of my style of hip hop encompassing different topics that are
important to me". “Kollage” showcased eleven classic songs full of her signature soulful delivery with lush and witty rhymes. This
album generated the 1996 Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards Nomination for the Best New R&B / Rap Artist.
Another little known fact is that Bahamadia was the first female rapper to participate in the Sprite commercial series featuring several
of today’s most accomplished Hip-Hop stars. Despite her commercial acceptance and success though, Bahamadia remains adamantly true to her
work and her roots in the city of Philadelphia, and in the global community of grassroots music culture.
In 1996 Bahamadia declared " my city, Philly, is underrated for Hip-Hop. It is the second original city of Rap from back when it was just
an East Coast thing. I want to help the Philly scene if I can." With Philadelphia natives, such as The Roots, Eve and Beanie Siegel
achieving universal acceptance, it is obvious that Bahamadia’s mission to set the stage for around-the-way talent has been accomplished
In addition to performing all over the world, from Los Angeles to Switzerland, Bahamadia is well known to participate in educational lectures
at universities, as well as at musical conferences and seminars. Bahamadia was also a highly respected contributing writer for Stress Magazine
in New York. And as if that wasn’t enough, Bahamadia is also known to create educational outlets at any of her daily stops.
One of those stops included her historical weekly radio show at Philadelphia’s 103.9FM (WPHI), where "Bahamadia's B-Sides" reigned as one of
the highest rated radio shows in Philadelphia on Friday nights. "B-Sides" showcased underground talent worldwide- MC's, DJ's, producers,
poets… etc. "Bahamadia's B-Sides" allowed these raw talents to freestyle, spin, and speak their peace live on the air. Other program guests
included graffiti artists, clothing designers, community leaders, and, of course B-Boys and B-Girls. In Bahamadia’s words, the show was designed
to “nurture grassroots oriented hip hop.”
In addition to her bona fide classic “Kollage” album, Bahamadia has since collaborated with a wide variety of her musical contemporaries.
Although the bulk of these collaborations consist of ground-breaking creations, most of them came about through the most organic ways possible.
Simply put, these gems were created because of a mutual respect for each other’s music.
These works include songs with The Brand New Heavies, Lauryn Hill, Roni Size, The Roots, Sweetback (Sade and Maxwell’s band), The Herbaliser,
Morcheeba, Ramsey Lewis (on Guru’s Jazzmatazz Vol. 2), King Britt, Towa Tei, Tina Marie, Talib Kweli, and more. When asked why she continuously
chooses to work with such an eclectic range of artists, Bahamadia explains “in order to push the envelope, and stop the music from being so stagnant
and stuck in the traditional forms.” No wonder why her critically acclaimed song with Roni Size was titled “New Forms”.
“ I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.”
