Shachar Mario Mordechai was born in Haifa and grew up in Kiryat Bialik, a small northern suburb of the city; he lives in Tel Aviv. His middle name is that of his late paternal grandfather, who was Italian. He holds a B.A. in Communications and Political Science from Haifa University, and an M.A. in the latter from the same university.
