South African DJ, Black Coffee who made history this past weekend by being the first South African to win a Grammy award in the Best Dance/Electronic Album category for Subconsciously has dedicated the award to his kids and assured all African children that their dreams are valid.
In a statement released on social media, Black Coffee thanked his kids for being patient with him as he chases his dream.
“This award is dedicated to my kids who have had to put up with me being on the road working on this music. I love you, thank you for your unwavering and unconditional love. You anchor me.
“Esona, to have dedicated my first album to you not knowing what it would yield and now witnessing you by my side proudly holding my first Grammy award was a moment too great and precious for words. Sharing the moment with you has been an incredible experience.
“I also dedicate the award to every African child who has a dream of excelling in anything they envision, I want to affirm that it is all possible,” wrote Black Coffee.
The DJ went on to thank God for the gift of music.
“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. I thank God for the gift of music, for blessing me with a beautiful healthy family, a wonderful group of friends and fans from all corners of the world.”
