The youngest of eight children, he discovered his passion for music at age eight through American hip-hop artists like Tupac, Eminem, and 50 Cent. Later, he found deeper inspiration in Christian rappers such as Lecrae, Andy Mineo, and Tedashii.
Limoblaze studied Biochemistry at the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, where his musical journey truly began.
