Waffles was nominated for a BET in the Best International Act category recently, an award she lost to Nigerian superstar Burna Boy.
“A lot of new opportunities, a lot of crazy opportunities — you know, when they come you just think ‘are you sure?’ because it’s so surreal,” Uncle Waffles told TimesLIVE. “It feels like I’m living a dream — that I hope I never wake up from ... I’m touring for 200 days this year, can you believe I was in Paris last night?”
Waffles also shut it down at Coachella. She joins an elite list of Mzansi musicians who've performed at the festival previously, including DBN Gogo, Major League DJs, DJ Black Coffee and Moonchild Sanelly.
The DJ comes a long way since blowing up with her viral video dancing to Youngstunna's Adiwele and Canadian rapper Drake's co-sign.
She recently announced she will release her second project, Asylum.
“One year ago I released my debut project, unlocking a part of me I never knew existed, vulnerability I never knew I could feel. A year later, I’m doing it again. Welcome to the Asylum,” she announced on her social media timeline.
