Both his mother and father were pastors and he was raised in a non denominational Christian home. The military travels eventually led his family to Virginia. Here, Davis was shaped into the musician he is today. Davis used to beat on books at a young age, which eventually led to the drums becoming his first instrument learned with no formal lessons. Davis speaks about learning piano, sax and various drum machines, to impress his crush back in his years in school. It was in Highschool Davis adopted the name Masego after finding out his family had roots in South Africa. He did his senior project on South African culture and came across the name “Masego” and it’s meaning Blessing in Tswana. This felt like the proper stage name due to his nickname back in church “Blessing” After a talent competition and a few beats with the name used as the tag, Masego was born.
