From being a young township talent DJ Black Coffee has taken himself around the globe with his DJ skills earning huge respect from some of the biggest names in the industry. DJ Black Coffee has accrued some crucial information through observing the steps that got him to where he is in the industry today and decided to talk about it at TEDx Johannesburg. He talks about how Africans need to take responsibility for the big decisions that need to be made in order to bring the about the change they need in their current situation.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
DJ Black Coffee is a true South African gem and international icon of the House music scene. DJ/Producer Black Coffee defies convention as we know it in the scene “side-stepping the Afro-House clichés and staged-managed highs in favour of restrained sophistication”. Despite all of Black Coffee’s successes he is still putting in the time and working incredibly hard.
