Jonathan Nvita was born in Kinshasa (DRC), fourth of five children. Nvita had a passion for music since age 5, following in the footsteps of his late father, who was a choir conductor and guitar player. He desired to pursue his love for music on an academic level. Because of his father's death, he missed the opportunity to attend music school and instead spent his adolescence studying chemistry and biology. Despite studying a different subject, music was still his passion.

In 2005, Nvita joined a newly established church in his neighborhood, began attending, and developed a deep affection for the piano. His older brother Nody was the one who initially taught him the basics of the piano, and his passion for music led him to pursue further learning from various groups in Kinshasa. Because he had more time and space to practice and play in various services, the church was his foundation. As he got older, his approach to music grew drastically in the way that his interest in music shifted in the direction of his heroes such as Lokua Kanza, Luambo Makiadi, Richard Bona, Bobby McFerrin, and Al Jarreau.

 Three years after graduating from high school, Nvita moved with his family to Canada (Toronto). When he first arrived in Canada, Nvita only had one goal: to study music. Within weeks of his arrival, he began private lessons with the late Shannon Gunn to prepare himself for the music program in college. Nvita knew that I could sing and play but couldn’t read music, so he had to prepare himself to pass the audition and be ready for college. Nvita persevered and gained acceptance into Humber College, one of Canada's most prestigious music colleges, where he pursued a Bachelor of Music program with a voice major. Many outstanding teachers, including Lisa Martinelli, Denzel Sinclaire, Orville Hyen, Dylan Bell, Mark Kelso, Waleed Abdulhamid, Will Jarvis, and Hilario Duran, shaped his development during his time there.
