Matondo found his passion for writing at young age. He was forced to write an essay on law enforcement in Elementary school which would later be a foreshadowing moment as he would later sell a film about police officers. Matondo's English teacher secretly entered the essay in to a state wide competition and it won first place. He was ten years old when he won a young author award. Matondo's traveling Minister father led him to live all over the world. Matondo's parents from Zaire now Congo moved to the United States and he was born in Virginia, but moved all over the United States. He lived in four states by the time he was 13 and even spent his fourth grade in Kenya.

He performed locally, wrote music that was featured on a local radio and was on a CD in stores. Matondo's passion for writing led him to leave music and focus on screenplays and acting. He wrote his first feature film. The death of his manager/mentor/friend and a car accident where the jaws of life were needed to extract him, changed his life. He survived after a scary ambulance ride to the hospital and decided to focus on acting. He moved to Los Angeles with $300 and a new car he could not afford. He stayed with a struggling actor/comedian he met in Atlanta but the actor stole money from him and he ended up sleeping in his car and defaulting on the loan.

It got slow for a few years but he came back strong booking two national commercials back to back.
