Masego Announces Fall US Headlining Tour Following Leon Bridges Run
New single "Lady Lady" out now"the ultimate shoot your shot anthem for the summer" -- Saint Heron
"Masego should be on your radar right now" -- HotNewHipHop
Fresh off the release of his new single "Lady Lady," multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer, and "soulful music-making machine" (Ones To Watch) Masego announces his Fall US Headlining Tour. The new dates will follow on the heels of his largest European tour to date and a Summer run of US amphitheater dates supporting Leon Bridges. Dubbed as "most intriguing player" (OkayPlayer) at this year's Smokin' Grooves festival, Masego's live performance leaves audiences clamoring for more as he builds his own beats and delivers magnificent saxophone solos throughout.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on June 28th at 10AM CT.
Produced by TDE's Sounwave, "Lady Lady" is the first taste of Masego's upcoming debut album and the "ultimate shoot your shot anthem for the summer" (Saint Heron). Further defining and exploring his extensive, genre-defying musical style, the groovy track is a "promising look at his eclectic sonic future" (DJ Booth).
Masego's religious upbringing allowed him to learn music from talented musicians in church, before finding influence in artists like John P. Kee, Andre 3000, and Cab Calloway. While in high school, Masego taught himself to play bass, drums, guitar, piano and saxophone, and first entered the music world by posting saxophone remixes of his favorite songs on Soundcloud, which he would dedicate to Instagram followers at random.
He has organically built his following with a steady stream of new music, his 'Pink Polo' and 'Loose Thoughts' EPs introducing the world to his unique sound that showcase classical jazz training and a knack for modern hip-hop structures.

As his songwriting prowess solidified and his fanbase grew, Masego soon caught the ear of Kaytranada, Sounwave, KRS, Medasin, Goldlink and Jazzy Jeff, whose pool house Masego commandeered to serve as a recording studio.
