The rise of South African DJ Black Coffee

Available for over a year

Black Coffee is one of the top electronic music producers and DJs in Africa. One of his tracks was recently sampled by the American rapper Drake and the Grammy award winning singer Alicia Keys asked him to remix one of her latest songs. Born Nkosinathi Maphumulo in Durban, South Africa, he grew up in the Eastern Cape. But what many people don't know is that he DJs with just one hand after he lost the use of his left arm in a car accident.
