Early life and education

Growing up, Mondia was exposed to various genres of music and attended operas with his mother. From an early age, he performed in front of audiences, whether it was singing in a choir, taking ballet classes, or performing on stage//screen.

His childhood was marred by bullying and abuse, pushing him to the brink of despair and even surviving a suicide. However, his resilience shone through as he triumphed over these challenges, emerging stronger and more determined than ever. Throughout his journey, he fearlessly delved into a multitude of artistic disciplines, ranging from dance and singing to acting. With a thirst for growth, Mondia took sporadic classes to refine his skills, even venturing into the world of stand-up comedy.
