‘Gi’ me a smile when you meet me on your way,’ is a word that no longer will flow out of scenekanter over the country.
At least not from Wafandes mouth.
The 37-year-old reggae – and soulsanger has announced that he stops his career as a frontsanger of a very special reason.
he has told to See and Hear.
“So has among other things decided to finish my career as a main act or as the leading artist on the way,” says Wafande and tells that his two-year-old daughter Melody is the reason why he no longer will use the majority of his time to perform:
“I shall certainly not be in a tourbus at three o’clock of the night on a Tuesday, or when is shrove Tuesday in the school – so I damn well better get to the carnival and dress me out as captain.”
According to him, the little daughter meant that he will reconsider all of its decisions.
Wafande, who is born in Copenhagen and grew up in Christiania as the son of a French-Danish mother and a tanzanian-congolese-national-omani father, telling that he will give his daughter Melody all that, he even wish he had been as a child.
And for him time is the most important, you can give your child.
Therefore he is not in doubt that it is to stop his career, as it has seen until now, is just the right thing to do.
Wafande debuted with the single ‘Give me a smile’ in 2011 and has since then appeared with songs such as, among other things ‘Naughty’ and ‘See me in the day’.
He is right now current in the Channel 5 programme ‘Across the Atlantic’ together with Anders Lund Madsen, YouTuber Julia Sofia, diamantdronning Katerina Pitzner, chef Jesper Vollmer and artist Kristian von Hornsleth.
