Mateo began his creative journey studying game design, where he developed a deep appreciation for the collaborative, multidisciplinary nature of interactive media. It was through courses in sound design and synthesis that he discovered his unique path, combining his passion for music, gaming, and film to shape immersive experiences through sound. His work bridges artistic vision with technical skill, allowing him to contribute meaningfully to multimedia projects while staying true to his musical roots.

Mateo is actively developing his technical knowledge and furthering his search for all things that sound cool. Hailing from Austin, Texas, he misses good barbeque while out of state for school and chooses to be a fan of the Houston Texans rather than the Dallas Cowboys.
