DJ

In Marie-France Vodikulwakidi’s world, music was more than just a sound—it coursed through her veins from an early age. Growing up, her parents immersed her in Congolese parties, where flaunting the best dance moves was a cherished tradition. It was in these moments that dancing became an integral part of her identity, fueled by her father’s love for French music and her mother’s admiration for Motown. With this eclectic musical backdrop, Marie-France’s passion for music was born and woven into the very fabric of her being.

Her journey into the field of DJing sprouted from a simple yet profound reason—whenever she graced the dance floor, the DJs seemed to falter, unable to match her infectious energy and fervor for dancing. This constant cut in the music, rather than dampening her spirits, fueled her resolve to share her love for music with the world. It was this dance-induced heartbeat that propelled her into the path of spinning tracks and crafting vibrant sets that resonated with diverse beats, igniting joy and captivating audiences wherever she went.

Marie-France’s deejay journey began with her dear friend Elsa Fralon, a journalist at Elle Magazine, back in 2015. With a spark of determination, Marie-France embarked on a mission. She purchased all the necessary equipment and began her training. Their debut as a duo took place at the Elle Awards, a night that unfold a tapestry of opportunities in the fashion world and far beyond.

From glitzy corporate gatherings to vibrant nightclubs and electrifying festivals, Marie-France and Elsa embraced it all. However, as fate would have it, the winds of change swept them apart after the era of COVID. Yet, standing on her own, Marie-France discovered a symphony of incredible opportunities. Under the nickname “TheMFWay,” she graced the decks of esteemed brands like Chanel, Delvaux, Essentiel, Don Perignon, and a multitude more.

For Marie-France, being behind the decks is more than just mixing tracks—it’s a magical journey. Her sets are a testament to her eclectic tastes, weaving together tunes that span from Disco to 90’s RnB, Electro to the French Touch, and a myriad of melodies that beckon everyone irresistibly to the dance floor. In her world, music is not just played; it’s shared, celebrated, and cherished in her unique way, setting hearts pulsating and feet tapping to the rhythm of her beats.
