Mateo's music is striking for a lot of reasons, but chief among them is it's stylistic breadth. The songs leap off in a variety of directions, using melodic acoustic-based pop rock as a creative springboard, rather than a confining box... He is that rare artist that who explores the expressive capabilities of pop music while sneaking in artistic integrity under your nose.

Mateo's melodies call to mind various influences, tunesmiths such as Jeff Buckley and Dave Matthews, as well as song-driven bands such as U2 and the Beatles. His work will grab you lyrically, vocally and instrumentally
