Masego, born Micah Davis, the son of two pastors, was born in Janaica&nbsp;but moved to Virginia at the age of 8, he had exposure to many instruments early on and has been playing instruments and singing in church since he was a child, but it was only in 2011 that Masego&#8217;s music started making waves online. What started as him posting saxophone remixes to SoundCloud snowballed into him sharing his own tracks via a debut, The Pink Polo EP with DJ Medasin, in 2016 to an already established, highly engaged audience. The debut set spawned the single &#8220;Girls That Dance&#8221; and brought the beginnings of much attention to his genre-bending take on jazz, which he calls &#8220;trap house jazz&#8221; which Mesago referenced in an recent interview&#8230; &#8220;It&#8217;s ignorance meets eloquence, an abrasive energy with some pretty coolness,&#8221; whatever it is, it has proven to have wide-ranging appeal and become a springboard to success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color:#6b6c6e\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> <sub>(Masego continues below)<\/sub><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Masego x Medasin - Girls That Dance (Official Video)\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8ZiCniLoLVM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><sub><strong><em><span style=\"color:#174a5b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Masego&#8217;s professional musical journey began with &#8216;The Pink Polo &#8216;EP with DJ Medasin, in 2016.
