Uncle Waffles rose to prominence after a video of her dancing to the song "Adiwele" by Young Stunna during her set went viral. She released her debut single "Tanzania" in March 2022 in anticipation of her debut extended play (EP), Red Dragon.
In 2023 she released her sophomore project, Asylum, which was followed by the EP Solace a few months later, in what she called a double-sided project titled, "An Asylum of Solace." In April 2023 she became the first amapiano artist to perform at Coachella. The DJ was nominated for Best International Act at the BET Awards that same year.
Tickets are still not yet on sale but last year the festival was priced at $25 for General Access and 150 for VIP.
