Mohamed Saccoh was born in Koidu Town, Kono District in Eastern Sierra Leone to Mandingo parents.
He and his family left Kono District and moved to Freetown, the country's capital city, during early stage of the Sierra Leone Civil War.
From then he rose to an incredibly high standard in the growing post civil war music industry of Sierra Leone while still in Secondary School.
In 2004, K-Man, along with fellow Sierra Leonean youth Underground rappers C-Jay and Camouflag, formed the Freetown based Hip Hop group called Conscious Knowledge, more commonly known as CK.
While in Guinea, K-Man worked with several prominent Guinean rappers including Bill De Sam and Sierra Leonean-Guinean reggae musician Daddi Cool.
