Willy Mason was born in Vermont and grew up in a musically rich atmosphere, learning guitar and piano from an early age. In his teens, influenced by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and folk traditions, he began writing his own songs. Mason, known for his distinct voice and insightful lyrics, honed his art by performing at local coffeehouses and small venues throughout the Northeast. His early work featured covers and solo acoustic concerts, which gained him praise for both technical ability and emotional depth, laying the groundwork for a successful career in folk-rock.

Mason's success came with his 2006 debut album, Where the Humans Eat, which included the popular tune "Oxygen." Critics praised the album's unvarnished poetry and minimalist musicianship. Over the next decade, he performed at festivals including Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, and Newport Folk Festival, alongside Laura Marling and Ben Howard. His albums frequently topped the folk and independent charts in the UK and the United States, and partnerships with producers such as Dave Odlum broadened his sonic palette while preserving a genuine, intimate feel.
