Selema Masekela is a beloved commentator, journalist, host, surfer, skateboarder, and Emmy nominated producer best known for his work across VICE, E!, ESPN/ABC, Nat Geo, Red Bull Media House and beyond. The son of South African jazz legend and activist Hugh Masekela, he still has very strong ties to his South African culture. He started surfing and skateboarding at the age of 8 and it’s the combination of these unique passions and experiences that paved the way for him not only to become the face of ESPN’s X-Games but also a musician himself, recording under the alias 'Alekesam'.

His recently launched podcast, "What Shapes Us?" that explores his and his guest's human experiences; who they are, what drives and gives them joy. It's this mission to highlight people and places through a mold-breaking lens and redefine culture. He is the co-founder of Stoked Mentoring, an organization dedicated to mentoring at-risk youth through action sports, and the host of Hyundai’s series The Un-Adventurers on Tastemade Network. In 2020, Selema was also welcomed on to the Board of Directors for Burton Snowboards as a general advisor.
