In this Episode of the Wide Awake Podcast I speak to Gabriel Du Preez also known as Tokkie. Tokkie was born in Feitas which is a suburb in Johannesburg. In 2010 he was introduced to one of South Africa's most successful music groups, Die Antwoord by filmmaker Ben Jay Crossmen.

He was adopted by Yolandi Visser and Ninja when he was nine years old along with his younger sister Meisie. Their older brother was not adopted and remained in Fietas with his mother.
