He started playing beats at the age of thirteen using a computer bought for him by his late uncle. Master KG was in a relationship with Makhadzi before they split in August 2020. Master KG's music career began when he got in touch with DJ Maebela and they started experimenting with music software. In 2016, after much practice, he released his first single "Situation". After signing to his current record label, Open Mic Productions, Master KG released his debut album Skeleton Move in 2018.

Master KG has performed in several other countries, including Zambia.

In December 2019, Master KG released the song " Jerusalema ", featuring Nomcebo Zikode . In mid-2020, it went viral online, was recorded internationally and spawned a remix with Burna Boy. The video for "Jerusalema" was removed from YouTube in the late hours of 5 August 2020, but was restored the following day.
