The Washington Post wrote "Attending a Mbandi concert is like sitting by the fireplace reading a heartwarming and humorous autobiography punctuated by a series of world class musical performances".

Mbandi was born in Limbe, a small town on the west coast of Cameroon, W. Africa. He spent his formative years listening to western artists like Phil Collins as well as African and Jamaican artists like Yvonne Chacka Chacka and Bob Marley respectively. This, as well the struggles of life growing up in Africa have made Mbandi the man and the musician he is today.
