DJ Masa’s career began in 2005, when he discovered the mixing software Sound Forge. From that time on, he had a strong interest in music. His first project “Girls Yeah Top (BOA)” got a lot of positive reviews. As Boa’s projects became more and more known, he decided to expand his work to other Asian pop artists.
Until early 2009, he used 2008 Korean top songs to mix “ADIOS 2008 special mash up,” which is when he really became famous. There were 30 million visits just in one month (now it is about 1.2 million), and this was a big success in Masa’s career.
[youtube -jV1zov8hnc]MASA wished to extend this state in 2008 and opened MasaMIXES in 2009, so there would be more people to hear his mix. But ADIOS’ song tendency did not continue into 2009. The song “ADIOS 2009 ~ k-pop special mega mashup” only had about 50 million visitors. Luckily “HOT K-POP 2009 pt. I, II” had a very good rating (pt.I was 1.95 million, pt.II was about 1.05 million)

His newest mix “HOT K-POP 2010 special mashup pt. I” has only been out for about two months and it already has 60,000 visits. He is such a good DJ!
[youtube nQ5ZW0gYL7M]Personally, I think the 2010 mix is the best one so far. This also shows Masa is getting more experienced with his career as this mix really captured the essences of every song. Unlike the ones he mixed before, where he cut out a whole sentence of the lyrics, this one he only pick two to three words from each song and still made it work. It is amazing how fluent this mix sounds.
His MV is also worth mentioning because the editing is awesome. Even some of the songs only have one second but he still edited it in.
