DJ duo TxC to showcase South African designers at BET Awards 2025
entertainment, music TxC are nominated in the "Best New International Act" category at the BET Awards 2025. Picture: Supplied Image: Supplied Amapiano duo TxC, consisting of Tarryn Reid and Clairise Hefke, have received a nomination in the "Best New International Act" category at the BET Awards 2025. South Africa has four nominations for the 2025 BET Best International Act award: Tyla, Maglera Doe Boy, Dlala Thukzin, and the duo TxC. TxC is the first DJ duo ever to be recognised in this category at the American awards show, set for June 9. 'Being the first duos to be nominated feels like we're breaking new grounds. Not just for ourselves, but for everyone who's ever felt like they've had to fit into a box to succeed. 'It shows that it is possible, I didn't think last year that we would be at the BET Awards this year, it's a surreal feeling. 'To see the growth and how far we've come as the first female duo, DJ duos, in Africa to be nominated. It's a crazy experience.' Amapiano Dj duo TxC Image: Instagram/@txc Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Ad loading Reid and Hefke explain that in a time where it often seems that single artists get more recognition than duos, it is an honour to be recognised. The childhood friends have built themselves strong careers as DJs dominating in the amapiano space. They advise that to succeed as a duo things need to be personal before being business. 'We've been in each other's lives for most of our lives, even before becoming what we are today and getting to know each other personally first is what saves what we have today. 'The goal is always the same, the work ethic is always the same. We all are always on the same page. And with duos, you can't compete with each other because then that means your goal is not the same. 'As long as you allow yourselves to be your selves and not try to overpower, over be, or overdo. We also tend to keep it very real.' 'I feel like most duos don't make it far because, you know, the one starts wanting to be better than the other one. The one feels like they're getting underpaid or overpaid. 'But if everything is the same and the communication is there within that group, I don't think anything bad should happen, and I think it should only be growth from there.' Being a public figure also means you have to put your best fashion forward and TxC are always seen in darring fashion-forward outfits. One would think that deciding on what to wear for the duo might be tough but they have developed a strategy. Hefke explains that they sit down and talk about what looks they want to rock and share ideas on how they want to feel and look. 'Because we also don't want to just look like everyone else. You know, we always try to look different. It also depends on the event or where we would go, and what kind of party it would be. We'd always try and relate our fashion to whatever event we're attending.' For the BET Awards Hefke and Reid say they will be working with local designers and stylists for their international red carpet experience. TxC has released two albums they have worked with international stars such as Davido and have performed in Qatar for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and FIFA Fan Festival. They stated that they view pressure positively, explaining that it motivates them to improve and think more ambitiously. 'I don't look at pressure as something negative or, you know, a problem. I look at it as a win. I feel like pressure is always a sign that you're doing something. God wants you to do more. 'He puts pressure in front of you so that you can actually do your best.'
