Enow was born in Bamenda, the capital of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. He is Bayangi from the Southwest Region, giving rise to his nickname "Bayangi Boy".

Enow hosted the television music show Mboa, and has done voice-over advertising for the Pan African telecommunications company MTN Group.
Enow released his first song "Hein Père" in June 2013, prompting Trace TV to label him "African music Revelation of the Year."
