Mmatema was raised in a village called Moletlane in Zebediela, Limpopo by Disego Moremi & Lucky Moraila with her 3 siblings. A the age of 5 years old she would sing at the pre-school assembly during morning prayer sessions. At that time she just enjoyed singing and had no idea that she was gifted with a voice that would go on to bless thousands of people in years to come. It was only when she was attending Matladi Senior Secondary School did people around her start telling her she could sing and so she joined the school choir.
