Mustafa was born into a Muslim family in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. He is the cousin of Ali Azmat,[4] who was the lead vocalist of the famous rock band Junoon, and is also related to the late Sufi kalam singer, actor, director and producer Inayat Hussain Bhatti.[5] From childhood he never thought that he would become a singer. He was daring from his young age and done anchoring for the college function. During that he was asked to sing some song by the professors. He hesitatingly sang bheegi bheegi raton me song for about 2 lines. From this he got lot of motivation to become a singer.[6]

In mid-2007, two of his songs were used in the Bollywood movie Awarapan[7] and he has performed in outside of Pakistan, including Glasgow[8] and Bahrain.[9]
