Masonn Deforrest grew up in Eugene, Oregon, who then moved down to California to pursue music. He moved for a better chance and to be surrounded by like minded people chasing the same dream.

“I love Oregon, but going south would obviously set me up with like minded people, and that’s the best way to make it nowadays.”

Masonn has many friends who are in the industry as well, and some of them also reside in Eugene. He loves to work with local artists who are on the come up like him.

“I love being around people I can trust, and many of those people are artists from right here in Eugene. I go back with a lot of them, and we’ve all helped each other along the way.”

Masonn had put out a lot of music before catching some traction. It took years for his music to start catching the public eye. As of the last couple of years, he has really made a name for himself. Masonn is really thankful to be able to work some big artists in his time. One of those who really helped him is Lumi Athena.

“Being able to work with Lumi really activated my numbers and put my name on the map. I’m just thankful she liked my music, and was eager to do a song with me just like I was with her.”
