Patrick is a male Zambian citizen. He was born in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia, in Ndola district at Ndola Central Hospital on 14 March, 2000. His Father's and Mother's names are Peter Nkemba and Clara Nkemba Respectively. He is the first-born in the family of 5, he has 4 young siblings of  3 girls and 1 boy. His immediate sister goes by the name of Lwini Nkemba, followed by Aphesa Nkemba, Ruth Nkemba then followed by  Prince Nkemba.

As it has been mentioned earlier Patrick was born in Ndola, but in 2004, the entire family shifted to Mufulira in search for a better life. He was raised up by the poor family, Patrick gives reference to the time when they had shifted to Mufulira in Mulundu compound, where the entire family had to start from the scratch with life in the new place. The guy explains that they had no house in the compound and they where staying in a forest-like setup which the local people called Garboon. While there, his father used to burn charcoal with his elder brother Mr. Royd Chiteta. He remembers one the memories when the they were sleeping  near the fire and he looked in the sky and saw the stars, and one of the stars seemed to be moving. It should be noted that they were spending nights at a shelterless place in the Gaboon Forest near Congo DRC. Later after some time they managed to rent a house in mulundu compound and that marked one of the great transitions in the history of the champion.

In 2007, Patrick started Grade 1 at Mulundu Primary School and his first teacher was Mrs Mutemwa. It should be made clear that by the time Patrick was starting Grade 1, his father had started working as a farm manager in Dr. Nkausu's farm . Its this relationship with Dr. Nkausu that gave birth to Patrick's dream of becoming a Medical doctor.

In 2013, Patrick wrote his Grade 7 Exam at Baluba Primary School in Luanshya, and he scored 737 marks. There arose a challenge concerning the way forward with his education, because his results were considered too high to be at Baluba Primary School. He was supposed to go to Luanshya Boys Boarding and Secondary School but the economic status of the family couldn’t allow. The family was in the dilemma. While in the dilemma his Uncle suggested that he will look for a space for Patrick at the school that was just starting in Kawama, that's how Patrick started school at Kawama Secondary School, populary known as PEAS (on 12, January, 2014) in Grade 8. While there Patrick was staying with Mr. Emmanuel Zulu who just past on in the same year on 12 August, 2014. This was worth mentioning because it was another turning point in the history of the champion. Things turned upside down and school became a bit burdenious for Patrick because he had to work at the Car wash during the weekends to look for money to buy groceries or go to get food from his Parents on foot from Ndola (Kawama) to Luanshya (Chibwe) on foot. This was a very critical time of his life and it worth mentioning.

In (2015) Patrick was in Grade 9, he started staying with his Cousin. His cousin Studying in preparation for his grade 9 exams was really hard because his cousin used to drink beer and sometimes there could be fights at home. However, by the Grace of God he managed to qualify to grade 10 with 419 marks.

In 2016, Patrick was in Grade 10 and by then his Uncle Bishop A. Nkemba had introduced him to Pastor K. Ng'ambi. He stayed with Pastor Kennedy just like a child with his father for 3 years until he even completed his Senor secondary school course. Afterwards, he went to chipata and started staying with Bishop A.Nkemba. While there, Patrick had an opportunity to be one of the people who participated in the rising of the Stepping Stone Reformation Center in 2019. In the same year he was part of the bible school at CWC Zambia and attended a workshop which was organized by Jesus Cares Ministries (JCM) which was called Community Church Mobilization Process (CCMP). In this workshop Patrick and others who attended where envisioned about the use of naturally available resources and the need for holistically balanced life.

In 2020, Patrick Nkemba Started School at Sunningdale University, where he did Natural Sciences. While there, he was the chairperson of the interdenominational Campus Fellowship.

Patrick describes himself as a man of vision and passion with purpose on the mission. He has continuously claimed to be the Doctor and that made people to call him by that title before going to med school.

Patrick has always loved farming from his childhood, when they shifted from Mufulira to Luanshya in 2011, they had to start from the scratch and all they had to sustain them was a garden. Through the garden they managed to raise money to pay for school requirements and fees. He had interest in agriculture science and in he took it among his subjects in his Junior Secondary School Course. After doing agriculture science, he came up with the idea of vegetable production, which was improved in 2017 and called it The National-Wide Channel of Trade Network (NCTN). In the process, he came up with the idea of non-governmental Organization that he called, The Home of Perfection (THOP) currently to being called Center For Holistic Stability Zambia (CFHS). Holistic Stability means health in all areas or dimensions of human life, which are spiritual, physical, Emotional, Social, Economic and Environmental.

One of his most outstanding future plans is to change the Zambian Curriculum, he strongly feel the nation has to develop and begin to produce successful minds, it must begin to produce creative people who should be able to use their talents, skills, gifts and their natural abilities to live productive lives. He says most people wait for an employment from the government leaving their gifts dormant and inactive. In his restoration process and ensuring the perfection he focuses so much on inspiring the new generation for great Accomplishments. He has a plan of having a school as from nursery, pre-school up to university which will be the powerful instrument of the process Curriculum transformation.

One of the driving forces that has continuously pushed this man, the desire to change the narrative for his family. This has even helped him to overcome peer pressure. That makes Patrick to take a responsible and a more careful approach to life in order to liberate the family and the generation at large from poverty.
