Backstage Intro - Meet Mateus

[Jeremy]

This month, we're happy to introduce @MateusM who you probably have seen around in the Community, sharing music and helping users.

Can you tell us more about yourself?
Hi! My name is Mateus and I’m from Brazil. I’m currently working as Software Engineer, and I love to talk about technologies and stuff like that.

During my daily routine, while I’m working, driving, or studying, I love listening to music on Spotify. 

I have two dogs that I love!

On the weekends I love to go out with my partner and watch some TV shows.

On my free time, if I’m not watching TV, I’m probably studying or playing a game.

What made you want to become a Star?

Helping others was always something I love to do in my free time, so becoming a Star simply gave me the chance to prove that I know the platform itself and that I can help others in the community that is in need of help with something, no matter what.

How long have you been using Spotify?

I’ve been using Spotify for about 6 years.

Is there any concert  that you're dreaming of going to?

No, I’m not a concert fan. Either way, I’d like to go to events like Tomorrowland because I’m a huge fan of EDM, House music, and Hardstyle.

What's your first memory of music? 

Oh, good question! Believe me, I wasn’t accustomed to listening to music before, like 15 years ago, but something did the difference in my life - the Jumpstyle/Tekstyle.  I’m still a huge fan of this music/dance style.

I was a music producer 10 years ago, or something like that, and I made some amazing tracks with my friend from Belgium and my dream was to be an artist like Dr. Rude, Demoniak, Fenix, or even Coone! Hahaha.

This music makes me remember these times. I don’t want to lose any piece of these memories.

If you had a super power, what would it be and why?

No idea! Hahaha, but any power that makes me able to help the entire world, no matter what (surely always for a good reason).

What's your favorite soundtrack and why?

I have many tracks that I truly love! But one of them that I can say that’s my favorite one is Chances – Five For Fighting. It was one of the first songs that I listened to when I met my partner almost 8 years ago.

Do you have any favorite album that changed the direction/love for music? If so, can you let us know the story behind it?

My favorite album is The Challenge, By Coone.

Coone challenged himself to make an album in 30 days, and yes, he was able to make a perfect album in 1 month! The album is a little old, but I still listen to it nowadays.
