Let’s rewind to the unforgettable 2024 Council Awards Dinner, a celebration of individuals making a profound impact in our communities. The evening shone a spotlight on extraordinary achievements, including Grammy Award-winning Wouter Keller, who received the Dignitas Award for his remarkable contributions to music. The inspirational Linda Twala, a dedicated philanthropist transforming lives in Alexandra Township, was honored with the prestigious Ellen Kuzwayo Award.
A truly memorable night celebrating excellence and impact!

Incredibly humbled by this news… 🥹💐 Thank you to everyone who has listened, supported, and shared in this journey, and to the Recording Academy for this incredible honor. For me, music is more than sound—it’s a tool that connects us on an unseen, almost cellular level. I believe we’re all attuned to frequencies that resonate beyond words, and my purpose has always been to tap into that shared energy to bring healing and unity. This Grammy nomination is a tribute to everyone who has been part of this path: my collaborators, @wouterkellerman@chandrikatandon , ever-supportive family, @mom_crystal@travel_baby28 , dedicated team, @rakkotter@tholsi_pillay@yamatakubrandon@warehousetracks and listeners who feel that same pull toward connection. Congratulations to all the nominees!🫶🏻🥰🎉🥳
