The 24-year-old artist, renowned for his hits Tadow and Navajo, is a big fan of local rapper AKA.
"I'm a huge AKA fan. I have been here twice and I've seen how his music moves people here, especially in the club. When he comes up, everyone moves. That's powerful.
"I don't know why people in the States don't know about him. So, I put my friends on [to] him when I went back to Coachella [music and arts festival] and showing different artists that I discovered when I was here. If an opportunity happens [to collaborate with him] I'm open to it."
Born Micah Davis in Kingston, Jamaica, he can play various musical instruments including the saxophone, marimba, bass and drums. He explains how he got his Tswana stage name.
"It all started in high school, trying to figure out the roots of my culture. I started with a name chart and at the time my nickname was 'Little Blessing' in church. So, when I found out the name Masego meant blessing and prosperity, I thought it would be a great artist name for a talent competition I had entered.
". when I eventually came here, I started learning more about the culture, traditional languages and food."
Before heading back home to Los Angeles, Masego ended his week-long SA visit with an intimate jam session in Rosebank, north of Joburg, that featured local artists such as Amanda Black, Lady Zamar and Tresor.
"This old man at the airport said I was the highlight of his week and he has been going to the Cape Town Jazz Festival for years. That really got me," he shares. "Another highlight was experiencing Table Mountain."
