2001–2019: Early life and school
Gottrieb Tonata Niiteta Nambahu was born on the 20th of February 2001 in Oniipa, a small town in Oshikoto region north of Namibia. He was raised there by his mother (Ottilie Nambahu) and father (Elia Nambahu) together with his two younger siblings Gossner Tutala Nambili Nambahu (14) and Gameno Tega Nangombe Iyaloo Nambahu (10). At a very young age, Gottrieb started listening to a lot of music (both local and international) as from influence of some of his cousins that he lived with at the time. He listened to a lot of Lil Wayne and Chris Brown songs and Lil Wayne was his first inspiration before a few artists like Drake and Kendrick Lamar also became a part of the same league.He started his primary level at Ondangwa Prof Pre Primary School in 2005,at the age of 4 where he was for about seven years till 2011 in his 4th grade. He was later moved to Chris Junior Private School in 2012 for his 5th grade where he only stayed there for a year then was moved to Heroes' Private School because his mother wanted him to learn his vernacular as a subject as he only learned English and Afrikaans. During his stay there he started writing a few Kwaito lyrics in his school books and that was when he discovered the songwriting talent and named himself TNG which stands for his names. In 2014, he attended his final primary grade (7) at the same school his mother worked as she is a 1st Grade teacher which was Oluno Primary School.

He went to Canisianum Roman Catholic High Schoo l in 2015 till 2019 which was there year he matriculated. While in high school, he continued writing his kwaito songs for the first year and wrote a full song with one of his friends titled "Babalaas" meaning hangover which was never recorded but became popular to his classmates. 2016 he switched from Kwaito to Hip Hop and started writing more Hip Hop songs. This was the same year he listened to Nasty C who is now his latest and biggest inspiration. He started working on a mixtape titled ATY which didnt really go well as it was not up to standard due to it being home recorded and not mastered. He then established the name Applause as his label and a name he wants to grow into a big company. He also brought up the statement Rich Young Mind which is what he labels himself as. He also changed his name from TNG to Tien G just for creativity sake. In 2017 he came up with another label for himself (OXV)which is Roman Characters for 15, the O was just added to balance it up and make it look good. 15 actually represents the age he was when he decided to be committed to Hip Hop and Rap.

2020: ATY
Gottrieb released his first ever project, a mixtape titled ATY (Ain't There Yet) which featured pre-released singles Tien Flair Drop and Mask Off Remix that were released in 2019.
