Info for Studying Abroad: Extended Stay

After going a little over two years without a project, Masego concluded his 2020 with a new EP, Studying Abroad. Now, the multitalented singer is preparing to hit fans with a deluxe reissue of that project.

Studying Abroad: Extended Stay leads off with the EP’s original six tracks, which find Masego walking the listener through every phase of a relationship, from its blissful beginnings to its tragic ending. He explored uncharted territory with sampling from an international palette of sounds and styles and enlisted collaborators such as D’Mile (Usher), Jack Dine (Stormzy), Jonah Christian (Nicki Minaj), IzyBeats (Mala Rodríguez), Kojo Asamoah (Ari Lennox), Don Toliver and Shenseea.

Hailed as a “musical polyglot” by the Los Angeles Times, Masego is a singular talent and surprising presence – a saxophone player, a singer, a rapper, a comedian, a DJ. Lady Lady, his 2018 debut album, put him on the map. “Tadow,” the lead single, has surpassed half a billion global streams and been certified Gold by the RIAA. Since the album’s release, Masego has toured the world, headlining sold-out tours and starring on festival stages across every continent but Antarctica. He recently contributed a new song, “Somethin’ Ain’t Right” (feat. JID and Rapsody), to Judas and the Black Messiah: The Inspired Album.

Masego

Micah Davis, known as Masego
is a Jamaican-American artist whose music traces the arc of Black music’s journey, blending fresh jazz innovation with ancestral echoes. His journey began in Virginia, a state that has birthed cultural architects like Pharrell and Timbaland, yet Masego’s path is distinct: a generational storyteller who crafts songs from scratch with his Looper pedal, weaving rhythms that are both immediate and eternal.

With a presence that commands any stage- across over forty countries and for crowds numbering in the tens of thousands-Masego’s live performances pulse with an electricity that transcends borders. His music has been featured in films and synced across Netflix, Hulu, and HBO, extending his sonic footprint far beyond traditional airwaves.

Masego’s creative sanctuaries in Afrocentric countries speak to his commitment to community and craft, with ventures that stretch from Ghana and Brazil to the frontier of tech innovation. His reverence for Black women—the undeniable wellspring of culture and inspiration in his life-runs as a throughline in every note he plays and every story he tells.

His music has amassed nearly three billion streams worldwide, with his breakout collaboration “Tadow” alongside FKJ earning Platinum certification in the U.S., Diamond certification in Brazil, and Gold certification in Mexico. His acclaimed project Studying Abroad: Extended Stay also earned him his first GRAMMY® nomination.

This album contains no booklet.
