What is "the Masks?"

Hello,

I have two questions. Thank you for your help.





1. Could you tell me the specific definition of “the Masks?”



A: What are you listening to?

B: The Masks.

A: What kind of music is that?

B: They’re a combination of a lot of things



2. His musical career started when he picked up his first guitar as a kid.

I am not sure about the meaning of “pick up” here? It means “buy” or self-learning”



Thank you again.
