Early life and career

Musa Keys went to Damelin to study sound engineering but withdrew in his second year, claiming he had already taught himself all he needed to know.

His single mother raised him as his father was absent. He revealed that his mother was not present most of the time due to work, and his uncle, who was supposed to look after him, also happened to be absent.

Instead, he found himself as a student at Damelin pursuing Sound Engineering but dropped out during his second year to pursue his music.
