Arriving in a new place with new people that didn't like him being there made Mponda angry, he found himself getting into to fights and getting kicked out of schools. Mponda says "I wasn't taking anything, from anybody". That's when his father got concerned and at the age of 15 Mponda began his boxing career. This path led Mponda to countless medals including a silver medal in the 2007 Canada Games, winning the only silver medal for the entire province. Mponda didn't stop there; he used his passion for fighting and put it to paper and pen. When asked about his musical influences he said proudly "My father". He included, Tupac Shakur, Heavy D, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley Frank Sinatra "all those artists combined make music an enjoyable experience for me”.
