Mura Masa, the stage name of Alexander Crossan, is a forerunner in the modern wave of electronic music artists who blend various genres into a unique, boundary-pushing sound. Born on the island of Guernsey on January 5, 1996, he broke onto the scene with his self-released mixtape "Soundtrack to a Death" in 2014. However, it was his track "Lovesick," which hit number one on the Spotify Viral charts in the UK and the US, that catapulted him to wider recognition. His eponymous debut album, released in 2017, showcased his talent for collaboration with a star-studded line-up of featured artists and was nominated for two Grammy Awards, one for Best Dance/Electronic Album and one for Best Recording Package.

In recent years, Mura Masa has continued to explore his distinctive blend of electronic, hip hop, and indie music, releasing a series of successful tracks and collaborations that have further solidified his position in the music industry. Beyond being a skilled producer and musician, his work is known for its genre-fluidity and global influences, often featuring a mix of high-profile and emerging artists from various backgrounds. With tracks such as "blessing me" featuring Pa Salieu & Skillibeng, "e-motions" with Erika de Casier, and "bbycakes" with Lil Uzi Vert, PinkPantheress & Shygirl, Mura Masa exemplifies the collaborative spirit of the current music landscape, earning acclaim and a growing fan base with each innovative release.
