His journey to stardom began with breakout EPs, featuring his now-iconic track Tadow and fruitful collaborations with renowned artists like FKJ, Kaytranada, Kehlani, and VanJess. Two studio albums, Lady Lady and this year’s critically acclaimed Masego, solidified his place as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

He’s also set to stop at the Yours & Owls Festival in Wollongong on October 14.

As he reaches the pivotal age of 29, Masego finds himself pondering life’s mysteries—love, glory, money, and everything in between. This phase of introspection inspired his latest album, aptly titled “Masego.” It marks a significant evolution in his artistry, showcasing a blend of contemplation, humor, and exhilarating musical finesse. Rejecting the pre-designed paths of others, Masego is crafting his own destiny, just as he does with his beats.

Masterfully combining introspection with extroversion, Masego is set to grace Aussie stages with his inimitable talent and charm.
