Top 10 richest African musicians

South African DJ Black Coffee

Black Coffee

Real name Nkosinathi Maphumulo, the multi-award-winning artist was born in South Africa’s house music province, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and raised in the Eastern Cape province, where Nelson Mandela hailed from, before moving back to KZN to study music.

His big break into the South African DJ scene came in 2003 when he was chosen as one of two South African participants in the Red Bull Music Academy and eventually founded Soulistic Music, a leading management and record company, and made himself officially known globally through a self-titled album.

Soulistic Music would begin signing releases from musicians such as Tumelo and Zakes Bantwini which achieved gold and platinum sales. Black Coffee has also worked with international acts such as Alicia Keys and Drake, bringing his work to the attention of many others. In 2016, he became the first South African to win a BET Award apart from grabbing three South African Music Awards and a DJ Award for Best Deep House.
