According to her publicity team, she kicked off her USA Tour by re-introducing the Amapiano genre to the Coachella audience.
This comes after the achievement of her 2023 Project Asylum being certified Gold.
Official videos of her set started trending on Twitter early last Saturday morning in South Africa, as she put on her first stellar performance on Friday evening in the US.
Her set was complete with all the choreography and high energy she has come to be known for.
“Despite experiencing some technical difficulties during her 9 pm prime-time slot, she mastered on and delivered on the same authentic Uncle Waffles experience we all know and love her for,” added her team.
“On Saturday she was introduced as the surprise act on the Do-Labs stage to an unsuspecting audience. Yet again the crowd loves her high-energy performance securing her a spot in the history books.”
Uncle Waffles closed off the weekend with a killer set at the Coachella afterparty at Zenyara.
She returned to Coachella the following weekend for her fourth performance at the festival.
