Davis has spoken about learning the piano, sax, and various drum machines. In high school, Davis adopted the name Masego, a Tswana translation of his church name "blessing." Davis attended Woodside High School in Newport News, Virginia and Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia before leaving to focus solely on his musical career. In 2015, Masego released the collaborative extended play, The Pink Polo EP with Medasin, spawning the single "Girls That Dance". The next year, he released his EP Loose Thoughts. In 2017, he met French artist FKJ, and the two released the track "Tadow." According to FKJ, the song was fully improvised not long after meeting. On September 7, 2018, he released his debut album Lady Lady, including guest features from FKJ, SiR, Tiffany Gouché, and De' Wayne Jackson. The album featured the previously released "Tadow" as its lead single. His EP, Studying Abroad was released on November 13, 2020. Masego released his self-titled album on March 3, 2023. Drawing from his upbringing of both his parents being pastors, Davis stated that church allowed him a place to learn music from talented musicians. Davis also cited Lukky (DJ PLM), John P. Kee, Andre 3000 and Cab Calloway as influences. Davis grew up in a room with over 200 vinyl records on the walls while simultaneously having friends giving him hard hitting drums and trap music influences. He refers to his own musical style as "TrapHouse Jazz".
