Bundu, who is commonly known by his nickname Teacher, grew up in his hometown of Bo, the second largest city in Sierra Leone. He attended the Bo School, one of the best secondary school in Sierra Leone. At the age of 15, Bundu fled on foot with his mother and siblings to Guinea to escape the civil war in his home country; his father was murdered by rebels. After five years of living in Guinea, Bundu's brother won a US immigrant visa in the Green Card Lottery, allowing the family to settle in the United States.^[1]
