Son of a world renowned jazz musician ( Hugh Masekela https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Masekela ) Selema grow up on the East Coast going to late night jazz clubs on the weekends, rubbing elbows with the greats. From there, he moved to Carlsbad, where he took naturally to the surf and skate culture.

X, X Games to Redbull, Selema has held down hosting responsibilities at arguably the most important events to 18-35 year olds all over the world.
