Brian earned his stripes in the LA underground Hip Hop scene before lending his sonic expertise to campaigns for Don Julio 1942 and iHeart Media. A detour into film and video sound ultimately confirmed what he already knew: connecting people through music was his true calling.

Now bringing that same cultural care to his DJ sets and events. Most recently, he developed a weekly Friday night residency at Orgullo Wine in Santa Barbara, a celebration of culture that helped drive a 30% revenue increase within its first year — defying industry-wide declining sales.

Brian Mateo's mission is simple: to soundtrack every event that honors where we come from while re-imagining where Latin American music is headed.
