Nya Burke

The place where music and technology meet — or technology and just about anything from skateboard trucks to poetry — fascinates Nya Burke, who helps our web wizards keep The Indy website fresh and bouncy, when he’s not speedboarding down a hill, that is. He spends a few days a week in our offices — often plugged into Curtis Mayfield or Afrika Bambaataa — and other days with his friends deejaying, emceeing, or singing, and at City College. “I love biology,” he enthuses, enthralled with the complexity of all the systems that breathe: “Life is magical.”
