A Musical Prodigy
Born into a family deeply rooted in music, Kode inherited his passion for the art form from his father, Dr. Colbert Mukwevho, a reggae legend from Limpopo Venda. From a tender age, Kode’s father immersed him in the world of music, nurturing his talent and guiding him on stage performances, even as a child.
The Genesis of an Artist
Kode La Mayor’s musical journey began at a very young age, when he started performing solo at the age of eight. His father played a significant role in nurturing his innate musical talent. Despite his small fingers, Kode enchanted the audience with his renditions of Bob Marley classics and original compositions.

His success was built on the strong foundation laid by his early performances.
Finding His Voice
As Kode matured, his musical tastes evolved, leading him to explore the realms of hip-hop and rap.
