If you’re on the internet and you like the side of things which are crazy, inventive, and funny, then you must know The Kiffness. Real name David Scott, The Kiffness is an online personality and the owns #1 music/artist Youtube Channel in South Africa. According to his website, “he is well known for his collaborations with interesting people & animals around the world. The project was founded by David Scott in 2011, but came to internet prominence in 2020.”

Together with his brother Mike, David started performing songs he had written in his bedroom. They played in taverns in Plettenberg Bay and Cape Town. David combined live keyboards, trumpet, and electronic tracks - all with inspiration from the live electronic act Goldfish. Meanwhile, his brother played live electronic drums.

The project gained momentum in 2014 when David's music began to be played on South African national radio stations. The project also added Mathew Gold on vocals, Mvelo Shandu on bass, Raiven Hansmann, and Clem Carr on keys and sax to its roster of musicians. Between these individuals, the band went on a lot of domestic and international tours.

When the epidemic struck in 2020, David shifted his focus to YouTube and started making songs about the Coronavirus parody. David's YouTube channel started to expand as a result of the international online audience these parodies made him accessible to.
