Today, many people recognise her as a vital voice in the amapiano space in South Africa. But Uncle Waffles did not start at the top. At some point, she was a stark unknown figure. What was her first gig as a DJ like?
First gigs are, of course, symbolic, as they usually set the tempo for what follows in the life of an entertainer.
Well, Unxles Waffles has just five insight into her first gig. She happened to remember it all. According to the songstress, her first gig as a DJ was at a pub and it was a huge deal for then.
Of course, it should be, since she was starting out in uncharted waters and many people did not quite know her then. Looking back, she is more than happy she took the risk to start in the first place.
Her first gig was not what thrust her into the limelight, however. She snagged the attention of the Rainbow Nation when a clip of her vibing to Young Stunna’s “Adiwele” went viral.
Since then, she has managed to hold the attention of music lovers in South Africa and beyond, defeating predictions from some quarters that she would disappear as quickly as she had manifested on the music scene.
