About Uncle Waffles

Lungelihle Zwane known professionally as Uncle Waffles, is a DJ and music producer from eSwatini born 30 March 2000.

In an interview with variety magazine, she explained how she was given the nickname “Waffles” by her friends. Then she adopted the moniker into to her stage name. Prior to her rise to fame, the princess of amapiano was a Business Management student and an intern at an eSwatini broadcasting company. It was at this company where she discovered a newfound love for music and DJing. She came across some old DJ decks and was taught how to use them by a frequent visitor DJ.

After a year of dedicating a large portion of the pandemic to perfecting her technique, sharing music mixes, and putting in countless hours of practise. When the scheduled DJ didn’t attend on one evening in October 2021, Waffles filled in. At the time she hadn’t been exposed to deejaying for a large group of people, but she performed her set energetically. The performance reached an even larger audience when a video of her behind the decks dancing to Young Stunna’s “Adiwele” went viral.

That video attracted the interest of creative agency Kreative Kornerr, who helped Waffles break into South Africa’s heavily saturated music industry by booking her regular gigs. She eventually went on to release her platinum certified debut single, “Tanzania” under Kreative Kornerr in 2022. The single was part of her debut EP Red Dragon. While under K.K, she would release two more solo projects in 2023, Asylum (with the viral hit song “Yahyuppiyah”) and Solace.

Since making her debut in 2020, she became the first ever amapiano artist to play on Coachella 2023 and became the first amapiano artist on the cover of Forbes.
