JOHANNESBURG – Grammy Award-winning artist Black Coffee said his humble upbringing led him to heights in his career he could have never imagined.
In exactly a week, Black Coffee, real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo will perform at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York to a sold-out crowd.
On Thursday, Castle Lite hosted a send-off event for Black Coffee in Fourways on Thursday.
Black Coffee said it was his humble beginnings that paved a path for him to get exposed to people from different walks of life.
“I’ll be driving a super fancy car and I see guys at the back of a van, and I say, ‘I used to be that guy.’ I see guys at the carwash washing cars, I used to be that guy, I see a guy at a barber shop cutting hair, I used to be that guy.
“So, I was exposed to being in all these places, so I could learn about life and always stay humble. I was always prepared for this journey.”
Black Coffee will be joined by local artists including Msaki, Shoba and Bucie at his performance in New York on 7 October.
