Born in Plymouth, England, of South African Xhosa, Zimbabwean Shona and Afrikaner descent, Musa and his family moved to New Zealand in 1999.

Following a substitute appearance for the New Zealand U-23 team at the London 2012 Olympic Games against Egypt at Old Trafford, Musa was approached by English Premier League club Fulham for a trial.
