The Open Book has been waiting for this Tiny Desk for some time now. Back in April, a friend of mine had the pleasure of being in the NPR offices during Masego’s Tiny Desk Concert. Masego, a TrapHouseJazz artist, hails from Virginia and has quickly become a popular name in the contemporary R&B scene as he blends jazz, R&B, Hip-Hop, and more in his music.
Cooler than the saxophone he plays, Masego uses his charm to hypnotize the audience at Tiny Desk with music, personality, and unmatched charisma. With a set featuring "Tadow", "Nayhoo", "Queen Tings", "Black Love" and "I Do Everything," Sego juggled and made it rain while requesting someone put him on with Lupita Nyong’o.
After dropping his 2018 project “Lady Lady,” we should expect nothing less than greatness from this critically acclaimed 26-year-old. Averaging about 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, Sego has also been connected to a few artists of the new school such as GoldLink and Dreamville artist Ari Lennox. Tall, scrawny, mildly light-skinned, and draped in silk, this Jamaican born Virginia breed artist got the juice and #UnEdited can't wait for more.
