The 24-years-of-age player was born as Alvin Mentian Kamara on 25 July 1995 in Norcross, Georgia, the United States. He and his elder sister, Garmal K. Momolu, were raised by a Liberian mother, Adama Kamara.

His mother, Adama, was born and bred in Liberia. She somewhat found her feet when the first Liberian war broke out. It was difficult for her and her two children to survive in the United States of America as they had to struggle a lot. Thankfully, Alvin found passion in the sports and now is making a living out of it to support his family.
