Mateo has managed to remain relevant and respected force among his peers and fan base thanks to a versatile repertoire that transcends any single genre. His original music is playfully confessional and autobiographical, painting a picture for the listener to interpret. His style pulls from his wide array of performance experience with hints jazz fusion, blues, folk, R&B, and Broadway music, featuring his classically trained Baritone vocals that demonstrate a four octave range (A2-G6).
