As he wraps up his sixth year in the music industry, UncleSego talks to Billboard about his Grammy-nominated project, being sampled by Drake and more.
Despite the rapidly changing nature of his career at the moment, though, Masego says he’s actually “kind of calm about everything. I feel like I have the zoomed out view of everything. Otherwise, it’ll probably take too much out of me. It’s a very interesting industry — I can’t even begin to describe it.” He goes on to compare his career to a video game with levels and missions — where a Grammy nomination is the final reward.
The “Yamz” music video — it has this really unique approach, different storylines happening independently that merge at the end. What made you guys go with this type of storytelling specifically? Japan & Tokyo specifically are inspiration points for you. There’s talk that you’ve got an animation project in the works, can you go into any detail on that?
Me being a fan [of Hayao Miyazaki] and Japanese culture, the writing – Korean writers are amazing as well – I feel like I want to challenge myself to ascend the level of art that I consume and of course, partner with them. I’ve already partnered with many of them, I’ve had people co-write with me in the animation field and video game field. I’ve just got a lot of interests and I’m trying them all out.
I’m playing with a symphony tonight, which I think will be amazing. Because I look at myself as still building the foundation of who I want to be, but to be at the level where a symphony learns your music and takes the time, takes it so seriously – it’s kinda funny, but it’s definitely cool.You definitely cannot. I’ve always compared the sleep you get on tours like when your laptop goes to sleep and then you just move the mouse slightly and it instantly wakes up.
