Life and music career

A native of Anambra State, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike was born and raised in Enugu State. His stage moniker came from the word phenomenal, which one of his friends from secondary school gave him.

He learned to play the drums and piano throughout secondary school and created his own rendition of every recording he heard. He studied public administration at the Institute of Management and Technology in Enugu, and started profiting from music during his second year there. Phyno told Ifeoma Onoye that Mr Raw is one of the few people he looks up to. [6] [7] He started rapping in 2010 and relocated to Lagos to further his music career. [8]
