Uncle Waffles recalls his first performance

“The show was at a pub. I think there were probably only about a hundred people, but for me it was a great show because the only people I ever played with were people on my Instagram.”

“You can't go to an @unclewaffles_ gig without dancing. Here, catch up with South Africa's loudest party headliner as she talks about starting a business during a pandemic, the craziest gig she's ever played and more — in the first installment of our new series, Spinning Out.”

“It is said that when it is not on social media, it is not happening… social media plays a huge role in shaping how brands are perceived… many celebrities rely on social media to influence and promote themselves… look at Skomota, lasizwe and Faith Nketsi etc, they have become successful and widely known through their videos on YouTube, TikTok etc. However, the problem with social media is that sometimes you need to have a support team / just to guide and support because things can easily get out of control.

“Reputation/brand image can be ruined… social media has a significant impact. Brands don’t even pay for ad space in broadsheet publications anymore. Yet they still rely on social media to engage and make an impression. Remember, social media today! Everything is fast, and as I said at the beginning, “If it’s not trending, it didn’t happen.”
