¿Téo? at Skyway Theatre, Minneapolis (18 Mar 2023)

Colombian-American actor and musician Mateo Arias, or better known as ¿Téo? (formerly T.O), is currently on his Sol & Luna Tour, stopping by Studio B (inside the Skyway Theatre), in Minneapolis, on Saturday night.



Los Angeles, by the way of Birmingham, Alabama, Maesu (pronounced “may-sue”) opened the show.



The singer/producer was inspired by such artists like Toro y Moi and FKA twigs, when he released his debut EP deSerVe. He also mentioned on stage that he’s actually writing songs for other artists, so you may have heard his songs, but not know it.



He ended his set with “Protection”, which had the audience singing along to the catchy chorus, “I need protection.”



Maesu’s latest single is called “Ｓｅｘ Ｏｎ ＧＰＳ.”



¿Téo? is very, very happy to see so many faces, up close and personal: “you show up!” He loves seeing everyone. He said he plays stadium shows (opening for Justin Bieber) and there’s just no connection to his fans. They all seems so far away.



Music wasn’t always in the cards for ¿Téo?, he started posting just fun little songs he produced when he was 17 years old on Soundcloud, and before he knew it, he was producing his debut single “Eclipse” and then with Jaden Smith’s encouragement, he released Enlightened Now. If you didn’t know, Smith, ¿Téo?, and his older brother Moisés Arias, are founding members of MSFTSrep, a creative clothing company.



As expected, since this was the Sol & Luna tour, and as you can see from the setlist, he played a balance of songs between the two albums. He also threw in some songs from his debut self-titled album, such as “Belong in the Sun” and “Uno Dos” (which originally featured Jaden Smith).



In April ¿Téo? will be playing at Coachella, as one of the few Latin artists confirmed to play this year. He’ll play, alongside Jaden Smith and Willow Smith… that should be a treat.



¿Téo? new album Luna is out now.
