Mason got his start as a lyricist working with German vocalist-musician Dirk Homuth on songs for an alt-pop group which Homuth named Almost Charlie so that, although his friend is "unable to play any instrument more complicated than a toaster", he could still be represented in some way. To date, the act has released five albums, "Loving Counterclockwise" (2006), "The Plural of Yes" (2009), "Tomorrow's Yesterday" (2012), "A Different Kind of Here" (2017) and "A Whisper in a World Too Loud" (2022). Since then, Mason has written lyrics in nearly every genre, for artists including
House of Lords,
Gigi Radics,
Oscar Zia,
Ashley Tisdale, Andrey Tikhonov,
Electrovamp,
Jonathan Fagerlund,
Jane Badler and
Miss Coco Peru. His personal projects have included albums by
Kim David Smith and Amelia's Fault, and singles by Nathalie Archangel and former
Vanity 6 and
Apollonia 6 member
Brenda Bennett. ==Entries in the Eurovision Song Contest==
