Umhambi Wendlela was born on August 20, 1992 in Site B, Khayelitsha as the first of three children of Lungelwa Dyonasi. After attending secondary school, he started his Hip-Hop career as a lyricist and songwriter, where he was introduced to the pioneers of Spaza music and Umculo-buciko.

In the year of 2018 he attended the Indigenous Ensemble at Arts Cape under the direction of Dizu Plaatjies, Elvis Sibeko and Nolufefe Mtshabe. This new technique fascinated him so much that he created several contemporary musical experiments with various creatives at home and abroad.
