Bridges For Music Scholarship launched
The Black Coffee Foundation /Bridges For Music Scholarship was launched earlier this week in Cape Town, which provides the opportunity for a highly talented and physically disabled student to study SAE's Higher Certificate in Sound Production qualification.
The launch event was hosted at SAE's new campus in the Woodstock Exchange and featured DJ Black Coffee, Ready D, Sideshow, Diloxclusiv with visuals by Frank Latter.
Few artists understand the challenges of living with a physical disability better than DJ Black Coffee - an award-winning DJ from KwaZulu-Natal. What many may not be aware of is that the genius behind the renowned Black Coffee compositions and performances does not have the use of his left hand.
Instead of relegating himself to obscurity, DJ Black Coffee chose to take his considerable skills to the world - performing on the international circuit and becoming a household name in South Africa. It is this man's resilience, passion and determination that influenced the development of the DJ Black Coffee Foundation - the spirit of which is to uplift the destitute, physically disabled and poor.
The scholarship is presented in association with non-profit organisation Bridges For Music, which works with electronic music in South Africa to empower and bridge divides in the country's poorer communities. Bridges brings its international credibility and network to this scholarship as a vital addition to its support of the profile of South African electronic music internationally.
