Black Coffee is a South African DJ, music producer and modern day renaissance man who has become one of the most prominent figures in global electronic music. Born Nkosinathi Maphumulo in Umlazi in Kwa-Zulu Natal, he began his career in music in the mid-1990s as a DJ and producer in South Africa. It wasn't until 2003, however, that he released his debut album, a self-titled project that showcased his deep, soulful take on house music to the world.

Over the next several years, Black Coffee continued to build his reputation as one of South Africa's most innovative and respected DJs, earning an intensely loyal following for his intricate, percussive sound and a commitment to showcasing the best of the country's diverse musical traditions and rising talent. He further released a series of highly acclaimed albums including "Have Another One" (2007), "Home Brewed" (2009), "Africa Rising" (2012), "Pieces of Me" (2015) and "Subconsciously" (2021).

Black Coffee's imaginative staging of his "Africa Rising" longplayer broke boundaries as he marked the elevation of homegrown South African house music into a world class entertainment experience with a debut performance at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban featuring a live 24 piece orchestra of full percussion and live keys, alongside appearances by Bucie, Zakes Bantwini, Victor Ntoni, Black Moses and Brothers of Peace.
