Background
Alfred Nenguwo, born in Uzumba, Zimbabwe, is the first born in a family of six. He was raised by his grandparents in the high density suburb of Mbare. As he remembers as a child music always fascinated him. His grandfather used to listen to a lot of jazz music, so he would end up singing along to the music a lot. His uncles were also musical, one played the Mbira and the other one was a Reggae artist. Nenguwo grew up to like music and started singing in the school choir when he was in primary school.

After singing in the school choir and later his church choir, Nenguwo joined a group called Afro-Diverse in 2008.[2] In 2013, he teamed up with singer Millicent Muchati, and they recorded an album entitled African Sun.
