Born in Kenya, Mentor grew up in West London and started music learning tabla in the Temple at an early age. He experimented with other musical endeavours such as DJing and rapping whilst picking up production techniques from older brother Rishi Rich. Mentor's first production was a track on the VR1 album "Voices".
After gaining an Audio Engineering Diploma at the SAE Institute of Technology, Mentor went on to produce a number of tracks on the huge selling Asian series Pure Garage I, II and III.
In 2002, he moved to Tanzania and set up Poa Records, an independent label which promoted Swahili Hip Hop and R&B. Mentor signed a number of artists including T.I.D, Zig Zag Kru, Complex (R.I.P) and Big Dogg Posse, as well as working with top East African artists like Lady JD, Mr Nice, Ray C, Suma G, AY and Majizee. Mentor went on to be Nominated Best Producer at the Tanzanian Music Awards 2003, POA Records artist T.I.D. won Best Artist Category and his album "Sauti Ya Dhahabu" (Produced by Mentor) won Best Album.
