#MusicExchange: The Kiffness

Scott founded the project in early 2011 when he arrived in Cape Town to pursue a career in music.

The Kiffness headlines K-Day this weekend in Cape Town and has a Number One song on iTunes at the moment with his new single “Wiggle A Bit” with Nathan Ro. I caught up with Scott on Friday.

Fame is about:

Working your whole life to get recognised. And then when you do get recognised it’s about wearing a hat and sunglasses so that you don’t get recognised. But on a serious note, it’s about using the influence I have to make a difference in other people’s lives.

Samro decides to pay my royalties.

I don't do:

Drugs.

The new decade means:

Big hadeda energy.

Music is a way of bringing my memes to life.

What is the most enjoyable aspect of your work?

Making memes. Getting streams. Living my dreams.

Which living person do you admire most and why?

Water (I’m a cheapskate).

What makes you stand out?

I make memes and I have an all-floral suit.
