Idringi graduated from Makerere University Kampala in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Telecommunications Engineering, and worked at MTN Uganda as a switch engineer before pursuing comedy full time. He acquired the Salvado name after cracking a joke about a woman who mistook him for Salvador, a character in the telenovela Second Chance. In 2009 he co-founded the comedy group The Crackers together with Alex Muhangi, Daniel Omara, Kenneth Pablo Kimuli and Mendo, staging their first show on 15 July 2009 at Effendy's Bar.

In September 2011 he quit MTN Uganda, and in October 2011 he started work at 91.3 Capital FM as a radio presenter on the Dream Breakfast Show and later the Overdrive Show. He performed internationally, including at Night of 1000 Laughs editions in Nairobi, Kampala, Lagos and Ghana, headlined the Stand-Up Africa show in South Africa in 2013, and organised the Africa Laughs comedy show in Kampala. He was featured in the May-June Italian edition of Vogue Magazine in 2012 and became the face of MTN's Weekender campaign in 2014.
