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 the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Conservatory of Music.

His writing has also made it onto the hit Fox TV show STAR, Jaigermeister campaigns, and CBS Sports Radio.
