Also known as Nuel, Emmanuel L. Nyei born in Khartoum, Sudan. Seventh born of eight kids, Nuel’s love for music came from playing his tribal rythem on bongo drums, which he created himself. However, looking at Nuel’s family from his father’s side, it was not a surprise that he established a passion for music. As a young kid, Nuel & his sister (Rania) where unstable, living with one side of the family to the other, due to their parents being divorce, around that period of time in which his father decided to fly them to Qatar to live with him. Nuel described growing up in Qatar, as "transactional". It was the first time that he actually had the chance to live outside of Sudan, and experience the difference. He attended a 4 year private school in Qatar, along with his sister until they completed. After his life in the middle-east, Nuel & his family travel to the U.S. to finish school. "It wasn’t really hard adapting, when i came, because, I came from Qatar. However, if I would’ve came straight from Khartoum to New York, it would’ve been more difficult". said Nuel. He spent most of his free time playing football (soccer) in his first couple of years in the U.S. That was until one day when he walked into his teacher’s room and seeing a student using the FL Studio program. He goes home that same day and install’s the program, and that’s where he taught himself composing beats/music. Nuel spent so much time learning the theory of music that it started interfering his school work. "Seven years later, now when i look at the first beats that I composed, I laugh at myself, because of the HUGE difference of what I sounded like back then and now. I learned so much, as far as mixing, mastering, track arrangments to name a few. So hopefully five years from now, I can look back at what I make now, and laught at it, because it can only mean that I’m getting better".
