Wanduni, born and raised in Sierra Leone, West Africa; Wanduni witnessed the disturbing 10 years war that took place in Sierra Leone. He found interest in hip hop in 1996, as he explained; him and his cousins listening to hip hop music, and imitating rappers. He began writing and recording his own music in 1999; in Krio, his country’s local language. Wanduni‘s silky vocals, and his West African R&B style is very unique and catchy. This quickly gained the recognition of professionals in the music business. He moved to Canada in 2006. Wanduni decided to continue his music career in a new language and new setting. However, his music has no barrier and he sees the potential for growth in Canada to be far greater than it had been previously. Wanduni’s music and lyrics are highly influenced by his experiences home and abroad; from his experience of a devastating rebel war to struggling with his resettlement in Canada.
