Nahreel places his interested in music at the age of 14 when his father bought him a piano and a
teacher to tuition him on how to play. He officially began his career in music as an assistant music producer at Kama Kawa records in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. He worked there for a period of two years before leaving to India to further his studies at Punjab College. His Riz One instrumental for Izzo Bizness, released under MJ Records, led the rapper Izzo Bizness to become one of the best-selling Tanzanian performing artists of 2009, to get nominations for major awards and meet the son of the President of the republic of Tanzania Mr Rithiwan Kikwete.He was still in India by this time but the demand for his instrumentals was getting really out of proportion back home in Tanzania as most hip-hop artists were interested in working with him.
In 2011, he completed his education in India and came back to Tanzania. He produced a couple of singles before linking up with a couple of his old friends to form the music group Pah One.
