Matteo (born January 26, 2006, Toronto, Canada) is a drummer and composer whose connection to rhythm began almost as soon as he could walk. Raised in a music-filled home, he explored piano and guitar before discovering his true love behind the drums.

First on a homemade kit built from a bucket, box and chopsticks, then on a real drum set introduced by his father. That early spark quickly grew into a lifelong passion.
 

Matteo pursued formal training in piano, guitar, and percussion, dedicating himself to drumming.

At just 14, he was accepted into Berklee College of Music completing 3 summers to earn the prestigious Berklee Pro-Certificate with a 4.0 GPA. All before starting high school, this earned him 9 university credits from respected educators including Skip Hadden, Yoron Israel, and Jim Payne.
 

Latter he was accepted into Mayfield Secondary High School for the elite performing arts RAP institution (Regional Arts Program) and continued advanced private studies with Jeff Salem and at Humber College with professor Steve Mancuso.

Graduating high school with national honours in 2024, Matteo earned scholarships to the 3 universities he applied to. His alma mater Berklee, York University, and Humber College. He chose Humber College to focus deeper into percussions and pursue his music honours degree under Grammy Award-winning percussionist Professor Larnell Lewis.

Presently pursuing his undergrad while being an active collaborator for many as a sought-after session drummer, Matteo is the drummer and composer for his band Chance of Reign, with music available on all streaming platforms. He also maintains professional standing memberships with SOCAN and BMI.

Matteo continues to learn and build his career through live performance, composition, and constant musical exploration.
