“How you live tour? What is the positive and negative spending so many days away from home?” he was asked.
““I love traveling and meeting new people and new places,” Mateo said. “I'd say that would be the bright side of everything no? make new friends ... And the flip side is the part of miss your family and the people who love you .. But today with the new technologies it is much easier! I have the whatsapp [to keep in touch with family and friends.”
Mateo’s success has come as a surprise, he said. “I did not expect.” He applied to a television contest and won a prize at age seven, “But at no time in my life I thought I could get here”
“This is a dream come true and I owe it all to my mother, who is here with me, always with me and supports me in everything,” he said. He did take singing lessons from age seven to around age 12.
“Actually, I’m still taking singing lessons,” he said. “I think it is good siemper take classes because you always learn new things. Always learn and try to cover more to evolve. As for advice, I would tell people who are beginning the most important thing is perseverance, hard work and enthusiasm, as well as being humble in life.”
As for his nickname as “the Spanish Justin Bieber,” Mateo said that he doesn’t mind.
