Uncle Waffles is performing at her international booked gigs.

The popular DJ recently headed to her Instagram timeline to reveal the many shows she had lined up. 

“Canada, thank you for the warm welcome. Third tour of the year in full effect, 100+ international shows this year already. Let’s finish strong, babies,” she wrote. 

Waffles released her third offering, An Asylum of Solace, on August 11. 

“This project is a curated musical version of my journey, feelings that can only be shared through music, coming into almost two years since my life completely changed. The first part of this project, Asylum, was a representation of the chaos in my mind trying to grasp, learn and run within this. How I’d feel like I was drowning some days but had to soldier on, the reality of going headfirst into such a beautiful industry. The reality of the feelings that would make me feel like I was in an asylum. Now we have part two, Solace.”

The DJ gained fame after a video of her dancing to Young Stunna's Adiwele went viral in 2021. Since then, Uncle Waffles has been basking in success, performing at the Met Gala afterparty and at Coachella, among other high-profile gigs. 

She said Solace was a symbol of the grace that accompanied her and brought her a great deal of joy and calm. 

“It represents an unexplainable feeling of gratitude that this journey chose me. With a few samples, it also shows how I’ve been musically inspired over the years and how it can all still tie in together.”
