Uncle Waffles’ rise to fame is really one crazy story. In a span of two years, when the rest of the world was miserably locked inside their homes due to Covid-19, she went from someone who trended on social media because of her wild dance moves behind the decks, to being noticed by American music superstar Drake hardly a year later, to collaborating with KFC on an exclusive Waffle Burger to bagging DJying residency at UK based station ‘BBC Radio, to having shows from Africa to the US and Europe and now she is on the lineup of Coachella. What a story!
