Raised by a single mother, he later went on to attend Barolong High School in Mafikeng where he started seeing his interest in the hip-hop life and started joining arts and musical movements around his hometown, started rapping due to his introduction to hip-hop through albums by HHP, Molemi and Morafe and for the fact that he was never good at any sports, so started rapping to fit in socially, his first experience of rapping was through a rap cypher at a local hip-hop party in Maftown in 2010 when he was 18 years old. At that cypher, Vandal Sunset says: "I demised and buried a useless and materialistic wanker and a fight broke out so (he) bailed out".
