He is a first-born child in his family. When he completed his primary school education, right when he was about to join form one, his father got fired from his job. His mother was a small-scale businesswoman and her income was too little to support the family. This provoked Mbosso to start selling chips so as to fend for the family.
Mbosso Music
Mbosso’s passion for music always existed way before he became famous. He always listened to big musicians and sang their music, imagining he was a big musician performing before a large audience. Right after he completed high school, he urged his parents to let him move to Dar es Salaam so as he could pursue music.

His parents denied him the chance on claims that Dar was a big city filled with filth, especially since he was a village boy with no known family member in Dar. He kept on persuading them and luckily, one day, they gave in. He left with nothing but a pair of shoes gifted to him by his father and a prayer by his mother.
When he arrived at Dar, he struggled for a while before Mbubwa Fela, the owner of Mkubwa na Wanawe Records helped build him. He put him together with three other boys, that is Aslay, Enock Bella and Beca Flavour. That is how a boy band known as ‘Wakubwa na wanawe’ (later known as Yamoto band) was formed. The band broke up in 2016 on matters involving money.
Mbosso was stranded and he went back home to practice farming. He even started stealing, an activity he since regrets.
