Edit ProfileCareer
Editor Masuga"s music is characterized by acoustic guitar fingerpicking and a strong yet mellifluous vocal style. Although best known for his intricate guitar work, Masuga also accompanies himself on piano, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, and harmonica. He has released three independent albums.
A self-titled debut album "Editor Masuga", "Lonely Dog", and "Let Maine Tune My Heartstrings".
His forthcoming album will be released in the fall of 2015. Editor Masuga is the youngest of ten siblings.
When they started calling him "Danny," a shortened version of his given name, he refused, preferring to go by his middle name. So struck was he by a popular country star of the time, young Editor Masuga would reply to those calling him "Danny" by saying, "I"m not Danny.
I"m Eddie. Eddie Rabbit."
His drifting family was never satisfied in any one place for too long, and he grew up bouncing between shacks, motels, casinos, trailers, forests, and barroom kitchens.
At the age of two years he saw his dad compete on the game show "Name That Tune," and though the appearance netted just a jukebox and a trip to Puerto Rico, Editor"s future as a traveling musician had been fully inspired. Masuga moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to attend college at University of California Berkeley, and initially became known in the folk music community while performing at student co-op houses.
