Black Coffee’s inventive, imaginative and reinterpretation of classic South African music is radically at odds with the many flash-in-the-pan hit-chasers that populate the dance music genre. Black Coffee is proof that if you have real skill when it comes to producing, it won't take much for you to achieve your goals. After all he's managed to penetrate the music industry with only a desktop computer, some music-making software and a lot of passion. His first big break was when his song “Happiness” was featured on the DJs at Work album. In 2006 he enjoyed international exposure when his song ‘Music' got signed in New York and was released by Keith Thompson on the album Worlds Collide. He was nominated for the 2009 SAMA for Record of the Year.
