Mason was born on July 12, 1995 in Fairfax Virginia, where he started his education at a Virginia private school. Upon moving to various stated across the country, he began to explore his interest in the performing arts at age 6 in San Antonio, Texas. Throughout elementary school he starred in many school plays, as well as theatrical productions at The Magik Theatre in downtown San Antonio. Here he also began to get involved with a variety of charitable organizations, including the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Eventually he would be known as a "Philanthropic Prodigy" and would appear in various newspapers and magazines as well as on the news. He participated in radio and television PSA's, sang the National Anthem at various events, and gave dozens of speeches in front of thousands of people on behalf of these organizations. Upon receiving countless awards, press coverage, and media attention, he continued to say "The greatest gift in the world is knowing that I helped someone, and thats what it's all about...people helping people." To this date Mason has raised over $70,000 for charities across the nation.

Mason has performed in every state he has resided in the past, but jump started his performing arts career in Raleigh, North Carolina. there he has performed with many theatrical companies, including Theatre in The Park, North Carolina Theatre, and Raleigh Little Theatre. His recent credits include John Darling in NCT's Production of Peter Pan, TIP's annual production of A Christmas Carol (3 years and counting), and in others across the state. At age 13 he sang the national anthem for a NHL hockey game, was nominated as the first ever Honorary Youth Candidate for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's man and Woman of the Year campaign, and raised over $11,000 in 8 weeks for charity.

He then decided that film and TV were two fields of interest he had, and began working on his career as not only an actor, but a producer. He travelled to Los Angeles in the summer of 2009 in hopes of gaining some experience in his interests. There he pursued his career and began working with Trilogy Talent, a management company known for its impressive client list.

Mason soon wrote his first screenplay titled "Harry Potter The Spoofical" a internet pilot which was a spoof/musical based on the world of Harry Potter. Recruiting a team consisting of a screenwriter, actors, singers, and camera men back home in Raleigh, he planned to begin the internet pilot's sucess upon his return home. The project is still in the works, and he plans to release it to the public via YouTube in 2010.
