Graduating from Christian Brothers High School in 2012, his interest in choreography and other dance styles, including turfing, salsa, modern, and contemporary was sparked. Mason trained under famous instructors/performers in the NorCal area including Paul “Koncept” G, King Guttah, Dante “Animal” Rose, William McCray, and Janae Rosebud. Mason has been featured on Good Day Sacramento News, collaborated with the famous dancing networks such as “Dancers Global” and “DanceOn” which led to him becoming a contracted dancer under the “DanceOnNetwork.” Mason is also part of the OutlawzCrew, a freestyle/battling based team led by Paul “Koncept." Additionally, Mason has collaborated with popular music artists such as E’40, Jay ROCK, Jae Synth, BluJeans, Vincent Vicari, and Mozzy. Mason's classes focus on finding and knowing oneself as a dancer as he believes this is key to being a successful individual in the dance world. Mason feels that he can help open the door for dancers to use the tools they already have in their tool shed as dancers so they can be able to begin the process of creativity and building their “self” within this dance world. That is his sole goal as a dancer and teacher, to motivate, create, and inspire.
