With his 2021 album named “Subconsciously,” Black Coffee became the first African DJ to win a Grammy Award in the best dance/electronic album category at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
Aside from winning, Black Coffee made history by becoming the first South African producer and DJ to be nominated for that prestigious award.
The musician said in his acceptance speech at the award ceremony;
“I want to thank God for the gift of music and being able to share it with the world and heal some souls.”
Below is also an appreciation post Black Coffee made on social media.

I remain in awe of God’s grace and mercy; because I did not prepare a speech for the ceremony, with this post I would like to extend my gratitude.
