Masego, whose real name is Micah Davis, is a multifaceted talent best known for his fusion of jazz, R&B, and hip-hop, along with his lush and flowing musical arrangements. Born on June 8, 1993, in Jamaica and raised in Newport News, Virginia, he is often recognized by his stage name—a nod to his South African heritage, meaning "blessing" in Tswana. Masego is a self-taught saxophonist and pianist, who first made waves in the music scene with his improvisational "TrapHouseJazz" sound—a genre he himself coined that encapsulates his wide-ranging influences and innovative style.

Throughout his career, Masego has become known for his genre-blurring tracks that showcase his skills as a singer, rapper, and instrumentalist. His 2016 release "Tadow," in collaboration with FKJ, went viral and established his global presence, garnering critical acclaim for its smooth, live-looped sound. Over the years, Masego has experimented with various sounds, as reflected in his recent releases like ​the soulful single "You Never Visit Me," the pulsating house rhythms in "What You Wanna Try [Kweku Saunderson Detroit Mix]," the romantic jazz notes of "Baby Love," and the Amapiano-infused "Say You Want Me (Pocket Remix)." With each new track and feature, such as "Marching Band" and "Charge It," Masego continues to showcase his inexhaustible creativity and remains an influential force in contemporary music, enticing listeners with his charismatic presence and innovative fusions of sound.
