PURPLE PICK: This months pick is singer songwriter Mateo. I have been following him since the days of when MySpace was my favorite past time. He is an AMAZING artist that with a growing fan base all over the map. Very seldom do I get excited about new artist but i admit that I was blown away by  Mateo the minute I heard him sing. He has toured with Chris Brown, Trey Songz and Mario. The crooner describes his music as “piano based” and “all about love”, writes all of his songs and plays the piano.  His mixed tape “Under the Sky ” is set to be released later this year, but for know he has blessed our ears with his live album entitled “Get to Know Me” Live from the Swing House. Many may try to pair him with the likes of Alicia Keys or John Legend, simply because he plays the piano (which is not a bad league to be related to!) – But Mateo is definitely in a class of his own. He’s been under the radar for a while, but the Mateo train is in full locomotion, and quickly moving full speed ahead to the top.  His music is available on iTunes and Amazon.
