Introduction

Musical career
Born Marea Stamper, a high-school dropout who was bullied for her gender-nonconforming appearance, The Black Madonna started her career in the late 1990s, selling mixtapes by underground DJs at raves.
She has been called "one of the world’s most exciting turntablists."
The stage name The Black Madonna references the Black Madonna paintings of the Virgin Mary, a tribute to her mother's favorite Catholic saint.
In 2018, The Black Madonna played herself as an in-residence DJ for the video game Grand Theft Auto Online, as part of the After Hours DLC.
