Musa Keys, whose real name is Musa Makamu, was born in Giyani, Limpopo Province’s northeastern area, and grew up in Polokwane, where he began performing music as a youngster.
Due to his love for music, which began at the age of 13 when he started playing the piano at church, the multi-hit track producer became very popular in South Africa.
From an early age, he has always been a creative youngster who has always wanted to accomplish the things he enjoys the most.
He gave preference to music and dropped out of Damelin, a career development college in South Africa, where he was studying sound engineering to focus on pursuing music full-time.
The main reason he left his academics was that music had started working out for him.
