Blessings was made for this. His name, meaning blessing in Tswana, feels prophetic: a reflection of how his music uplifts, connects, and transforms any space it fills. Step into his world, and you’re not just hearing sound. You’re living in it.
On layered Moroccan rugs beneath the glow of amber light and surrounded by Sonos speakers, Masego leads the Nu Deco Ensemble through a live take of his new single “Unhinged.” The scene reflects what Sonos makes possible – sound so rich, detailed, and dimensional you can feel every instrument: the surging saxophone, the steady percussion, the swelling strings, and the electric guitar that tops it off with a tinge of attitude. Every note, every vibration, feels close enough to touch.
It’s a fitting collaboration between an artist who chases feeling and a brand that builds a sound system designed to deliver it.
Born in Jamaica, raised in virginia, and shaped by travels across continents, Masego, née Micah Davis, has always been drawn to sound as an experience. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist and creator of “Trap House jazz,” his sound fuses jazz’s improvisation with hip-hop’s edge and house’s pulse. His breakout hit,”Tadow,” introduced the world to that fusion,a burst of pure spontaneity that captured what he calls “chasing a feeling.”## editor’s picks

We paired Masego with a familiar friend, Miami’s Nu Deco Ensemble, with the genre-defying collaboration between the two a nod to Sonos’ ability to bring worlds together – one room, one rhythm at a time. “The approach [for “Unhinged”] was to honor what existed and then build around it in a way that felt authentic to both his voice and ours,” says Sam Hyken, CEO, Artistic Director and Co-founder of Nu Deco. He goes on to detail the structure he created for their sonic connection. “I enhanced the original structure and added new orchestral elements – a trumpet solo, expanded string writing, and additional rhythmic layers – to give it that Nu Deco signature while still keeping the spirit of the original at the center. The result was a lovely reflection of how naturally our worlds blend together.”
