Speaking about the success of Trigger DJ Karri Shared; “When Trigger was released, like any other artist I had hopes that it would take over the world and put us on a new level(Which is exactly what happened). It was amazing how South African artists, supporters and the rest of the world supported us by joining the challenge created by social media Influencer victor. “We are blessed and numbers don’t lie”.

The DJ reflects on his musical journey and the impact Social Media has on his success; “I’ve been in the music industry for 15 years, through all these years I’ve learnt a lot and social media has always been one of my strongest attributes. Social media elevated me from one level to a much better one which I am grateful for. When the numbers grew drastically on Tik Tok and Instagram I and the team were actually in shock but we also took it as a breakthrough that we needed for growth.”
Karri shared what audiences can expect for the upcoming single, he said; Tornado, Tornado, Tornado”(Dj Karri Giggles). This is one of my favourite songs. It’s going to take over and the world will experience a musical amapiano disaster when we drop Tornado ft BL Zero & Kamo The Vocalist.
Karri is part of the culture and movement of Amapiano steadily growing globally, blowing up on the internet.
