The world just witnessed history as South Africa’s sensational DJ duo TxC—Tarryn and Clairise—snatched the BET Award for Best New International Act, solidifying their status as global ambassadors of the Amapiano movement. As BET Africa proudly announced:
“Congratulations to @____.txc.____ on WINNING BEST NEW INTERNATIONAL ACT South Africa! 🏆🔥👑👑😍🇿🇦”
What began as an audacious experiment in rhythm and digital performance has now crescendoed into a full-blown global phenomenon. From their roots in Gqeberha ,Eastern Cape to setting stages ablaze in Johannesburg and beyond, TxC have captivated the world with a unique blend of cultural authenticity, electrifying DJ sets, and trailblazing energy that breaks boundaries—literally and sonically.
TxC’s artistry isn’t just about sound—it’s a spiritual journey rooted in African identity, sisterhood, and bold creativity.
As self-proclaimed global custodians of Amapiano, the duo’s work continues to breathe life into a genre that’s reshaping global soundscapes. Their viral hit “Turn off The Lights” is currently lighting up timelines and streaming platforms with a sound that is equal parts hypnotic and high-voltage. It’s a powerful testament to their vision: a soundscape that celebrates bliss, soul, and rhythmic storytelling.
With an impressive footprint that includes:
- 47.6 million streams
- 832 curated playlists with a reach of 12.8 million listeners
- 457 chart placements
- 2.34 million Shazams
- A staggering 274 million views across platforms
Yet, despite their meteoric rise, the heart of TxC remains firmly planted in South African soil. Their gold-selling single “Too Deep” featuring Dinky Kunene further emphasized their sonic mission: creating music that is as soulful as it is electric, as intentional as it is infectious
TxC’s influence transcends the DJ booth. As powerful female creatives in a male-dominated industry, they are beacons for young girls across the globe. Their message is clear: dream unapologetically, create fearlessly, and lead with authenticity.
Their vision extends far beyond charts and stages. TxC stands as a symbol of empowerment, diversity, and cultural celebration—sharing South Africa’s rich narrative while championing a new global sound.
As they step into this new chapter with BET gold in hand, TxC is not just making history—they’re writing the future of Amapiano. One record at a time. One dance at a time. One global stage at a time.
Congratulations to TxC, South Africa’s pride and now, officially, the world’s Best New International Act. 👑🇿🇦🌍
