Mateo Briscoe

Inspired by Amy Winehouse and Tracy Chapman combined with his love for pop, pop rock, pop punk, and Indie pop, Mateo Briscoe ,aka Local Slothboi, is sharing his story in a way that is unapologetically real and true. Mateo, an FTM transgender male, Born and raised in Sacramento California, has held several live performances (starting with open mic nights) at venues throughout the city including, Holy Diver, The boardwalk, Harlow’s, and Ace of Spades. He’s even taken his shows to venues in the Bay Area including the White Horse Bar in Oakland and the Red Victorian Hotel in San Francisco. Mateo really found his voice once he started HRT and hopes to one day be a positive light and voice for others within the community. With a voice like brown sugar butter mixed with fun yet honest lyrics, catchy rhythms and a little bit of 90s pop rock instrumentals, Mateo takes his mother’s advise to always live his truth, by creating the music before you. From struggles of self love, romantic love, family trials and tribulations, inner demons, anxieties, depression and everyday life he’s got a song for it all. He hopes that people in the world can hear his music and feel like someone gets it. 
 In Mateos words “Music is my first love. Music is my meditation. Music is my reason for getting up in the morning. Music is the friend I turn to when there’s no one near. You’ll always find a helping hand or a peace of mind when there’s music around. Music makes me feel alive”
