Masego on Self-Care and Creating a Sonic Getaway With His New EP
The musician’s new EP, Study Abroad, reminisces on international travel. Amid the pandemic, the singer has been finding solace with skin care and on motorcycle rides….
He’s upped the ante on self-care amid the pandemic, too. “I really fell in love with podcasts. I listen to them every day,” he says—Joe Budden’s, to be specific. The episodes have accompanied him on his habitual motorcycle rides. “These two activities really made it a lot easier to get through quarantine. I’m real simple. I’m not that fancy. I didn’t get new tattoos or anything,” he chuckles. “I’m just spending time outside when I can.” The simplicity carries through to his much-asked-about skin-care routine. Opting for a natural approach, Masego reaches for Shea butter, witch hazel toners, in-shower tea tree aromatherapy, and an aloe-vera-based cleanser. He’s also made a habit of watching YouTube videos of those with “dope skin,” with beauty guru Rahel Brhane as one favorite.
Masego hopes his album will provide a getaway and a reminder of the richness of travel at a time when so many people are homebound. “Travel will unlock something in you,” he says. He means it locally, too. The roads of Los Angeles have provided him a new perspective during the pandemic. “By me just getting on my bike and riding for a few miles, affects me in a way that I feel like I wouldn’t have had if I was just in my house, on the internet all day,” he says. “So any form of travel you can afford, do that.” Whether it’s a walk around the block or a drive along the coast, just bring the right music.
