Masego

Expand

At almost two meters tall, Masego is not only an imposing figure in stature, but also in the world of music and beyond. A multiple Grammy-nominated artist, he went from performing his music masterfully to creating beats from scratch, interweaving elements of stand-up comedy and live improvised song creation, making each performance a unique masterpiece.

His reverence for music greats like Andre 3000, Cab Calloway and Jorge Ben Jor has guided his trajectory, shaping his distinctive voice in the industry. The Jamaican-American maestro with deep African roots in South and West Africa, has pioneered an evolution of sound that began as "traphousejazz" and has since blossomed into a groundbreaking multicultural fusion. Masego's upbringing in a nomadic military family based in Virginia, with frequent stays in New York, Georgia and the Carolinas, has instilled in him a rich tapestry of experiences. This diversity imbues his music with an exploration of love, life and identity, conveyed with razor-sharp precision.
