Mumajesi was born on August 23, 1982, into an Albanian family in the city of Tirana, then part of the People's Republic of Albania, present Albania.[1] He showed great interest in performing and recording music at an early age. He made his professional debut in 1998 as a member of the boy group "The Dreams" with whom he participated at Festivali i Këngës in 2000 and Kënga Magjike in 2001.[7][8]
He later reached his fame in the Albanian music industry as a solo singer and later as a composer. He participated in Kënga Magjike in 2002 and continued collaborating with different artists. He won an award at Kënga Magjike not only for his own song and interpretation, but also for songs composed for other artists. He worked as manager for Soni Malaj for a period of time. Together with a few other music professionals in Albania, he decided to open his record-label, named Threedots Production where the most famous artists of the country and others were signed.[9]
From the beginning of his solo career he had huge success in Albania. However, after releasing "Tallava", "Playback" and "Me Zemër" he received even greater recognition from the public for his interesting genre, a mix of dance music, R&B and other modern beats.[10]
He received international attention after his work was seen on the Bulgarian Balkanika TV, Balkan's biggest music channel.[11] After his successful debut, he received multiple nominations at Balkan Music Awards for his contribution in 2009 for the Balkan music. At the ceremony his song "Playback" won "Best song from Albania" and ranked second as the best song from Balkans. A year later, he was also nominated as the composer of "Origjinale" from Aurela Gaçe.
