Mashudu Nevhutalu was born in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, 1992. He attended school at Mc Auley House Primary School and Greenside High School. Although he did not have much art training at primary or high school level, he has always had an interest in art, and his first influence was all the graffiti and street murals he used to see (and still does), decorating dilapidated buildings, almost bringing them to life with their colors. This love for graffiti urged him to go on and study art at tertiary level where he received his Honours in Fine and Applied Arts in 2014 at the Tshwane University of Technology. Nevhutalu was selected in the Sasol New Signatures Competition. He went on to take part in a number of small group shows and other competitions(SA Taxi Foundation Art Award, 2016,2017). He was recently shown his work at the Turbine Art Fair (2019) showing under 99 Loop Gallery.
