His live performance skills began at age 10 when he put his musical talents to work by performing at dance marathons and charity events in support ofAnn & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago. To date he has performed at over 60 events that have raised millions of dollars for pediatric medical research.

His mentor Oteil Burbridge always reminds him, “Imagine that you have no ceilings to your success”, and Victor Wooten has always told him,“What does world need with just another good musician, it needs good people.” Mateyko has taken these words to heart and sees no limit to what he can do – both as a person and musician, while always keeping in mind the importance of being a good person, someone who is easy to work and willing to take on any challenge with passion.
