Soul Jah Love’s mother died when he was just a baby. He then moved in with his father who also passed away in 2005 when he was only 15. He was forced onto the streets after all of his family members refused to stay with him. He became a street kid. In his songs, he referred to himself as ‘chigunduru’ because of his life on the streets.

Soul Jah love found solace in drugs to cope with life on the streets of Harare. That is when he also started singing. He was discovered by the music promoter Changara and as they say, the rest is history. Dancehall elevated Jah Love to superstardom and he managed to turn his life around.
