Born and raised in the small town of Bergville, Sjava comes from humble beginnings and has made himself known in the industry. He has even been recognised by American rapper, Kendrick Lamar. There were even rumours that the pair were going to work together. 

After the release of Umphako, Sjava won the Viewers' Choice Award for Best International Act at the 2018 BET Awards. The East Coast Breakfast team called him almost a year ago to date to congratulate him. Listen to that conversation here.

He recently won 'Best Afro-Pop Album' and 'Album of the Year' at the recent 25th SAMAs. Talk about getting the bag!
