Born Lungelihle Zwane on March 30, 2000, in Eswatini, Uncle Waffles has quickly established herself as one of the leading figures of the global amapiano scene. She first broke through in 2021 after a viral DJ set video, amplified by Drake, which instantly translated into streaming traction and international bookings.

By 2022, industry recognition followed as UK based publication Mixmag named her among the best DJs in the world that year, confirming her impact beyond viral success. After an initial breakthrough with Red Dragon (2022), she solidified her position with Asylum (2023), driven by the global hit “Tanzania” with Tony Duardo and Sino Msolo, which has surpassed 200 million streams and stands as a defining amapiano record, earning multi platinum certifications across several African markets and going massively viral on TikTok and in clubs worldwide.

April 2023 marked a historic milestone as she became the first amapiano artist to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, helping push the genre onto a global stage and positioning herself at the forefront of its international expansion.

The 2024–2026 period reflects clear acceleration through consistent, high impact releases. She notably delivered tracks and collaborations such as “Yahyuppiyah” with Pcee and EeQue, one of the most viral amapiano records of the recent cycle, generating tens of millions of streams and strong rotation in DJ sets worldwide. She continues to appear across key amapiano releases, maintaining a steady presence within the genre’s most streamed and playlisted tracks.

Her recent activity also includes widely circulated live performances and digital content, with DJ set clips and official videos consistently reaching millions of views, reinforcing her strong engagement across platforms. On the live front, she has become a reliable name on the global circuit, performing at Coachella, Afro Nation, Wireless, and Piano People, while touring extensively across Europe, the UK, and North America. Her sets are tailored for large scale stages, combining amapiano, afro house, and high energy transitions, with strong crowd interaction, resulting in consistently viral live moments.

Her catalog now totals hundreds of millions of streams, with recurring placements across major amapiano and global afro playlists. She continues to collaborate with key figures such as Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, Young Stunna, as well as emerging artists shaping the next wave of the genre.
By 2025–2026, Uncle Waffles stands as an international headlining DJ, combining viral hits, strategic collaborations, and high impact live performances. She is now considered a key booking for festivals, premium clubs, and large scale events targeting a global, digitally engaged audience.
