Energetic, intense, yet sensitive, and inquisitive. All of these words and more describe the style and work of Kansas City producer, musician, and composer Desmond Mason. Raised both personally and musically in Kansas City, Missouri, his musical roots are in, and have evolved from, hip hop, R&B, gospel, and jazz. Largely self-taught, he received formal education from Scott Anthony and Bobby Watson, both from University of Missouri-Kansas City’s conservatory of music. Becoming more widely heard, Desmond’s itinerary is rapidly growing as the exposure to his work and compositions increase.
He was one of Casio’s representatives for the worldwide Make Music Day 2021, and is a multiple time international beat battle/music production showcase champion, making him one of the best beat makers in the world. He has also directed music for several musicals in the area, including Ain't Misbehavin': the Fat's Waller Musical and The Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. His writing has also made it onto the hit Fox TV show STAR, Jaigermeister campaigns, and CBS Sports Radio.
