Early life
Thembalethu Phumlani Dlamini was born on 28 April 2001 in Johannesburg, Gauteng. He is originally from Durban, a city in the KwaZulu-Natal province. He grew up in Johannesburg.

Career
Kordi began to develop himself as an artist at the age of 16 and started to record his music and uploading it on SoundCloud and ReverbNation. He did not like the idea of being signed by a record label because he liked being independent, he got this inspiration from Chance the Rapper who is also independently controlling his own music. After 3 months he got his first gig at a local bar and a second the following week. He uses CD Baby to distribute his music but it is only available on the CD Baby Store. His first track, produced by Slick-felloe, "Victory", was released early 2018.
Musical style
Kordi's music has been described as a "cool" grunge hip-hop. Jon Caramanica of The New York Times described Kordi as "an artist who toes the line between singing and rapping."
