There is beauty in expressing strong emotion with subtlety. MATEI establishes a genuine connection by allowing you to directly access his thoughts at his most intimate and vulnerable, treating you less as an audience and more as a participant.
With pop as the foundation, the London-based singer-songwriter draws rhythm and sonic patterns from a variety of genres, especially commercial pop and trap. He takes inspiration for vocals from RnB and soul artists while embracing the depth of his baritone. Expressiveness and powerful visuals are at the centre of his pursuit of evocative music. The emotions that he writes and sings of are not tied to individuals. They are contemplations of the past experiences and the feelings and changes they evoked. Rather than flooding with a stream of thoughts, MATEI takes you, a listener, a participant, deep underwater and guides you through the experience with a promise of reconciliation upon emerging to the surface.
