Mateo

Mateo is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Freddie King, Charles Brown and James Brown. Those roots explain a lot about how Mateo arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Marques Houston, Omarion, Jaheim, LeToya and Usher, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Rihanna, Jazmine Sullivan, The Internet, Alicia Keys and Khalid, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Mateo, reaching back through Freddie King and forward to Rihanna. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
