Meet Matteo Coletta, aka Teo: a passionate performer who draws inspiration from his Italian heritage. From early beginnings as a drummer and percussionist, he is now a captivating performer incorporating percussion, bringing a unique combination of DJ and live instruments to corporate and public events and is a highly sought-after DJ based in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Creating immersive sonic experiences at ‘WellSpace’ in Queenstown introduced his warmth and creativity to many… and he never looked back.
His talent is showcased throughout New Zealand; with multiple performances at NZ Spirit (North & South Island), Wellfest, Burning Horse, Dimension, and Winter Pride festivals, as well as promoters such as Electric Rush, NoTrace, and others, joining with international artists on the line-up.
During the winter seasons, he has regularly participated in events promoted by NZ Ski (and others), including performances at Coronet Peak where, on his biggest event, he performed live percussion while DJing in front of more than 4,000 people.
As a resident DJ in Queenstown, his curated taste adds value to the Queenstown nightlife; he can be seen resident at Bardeaux, and other venues such as Bunker, World Bar, Yonder, Sundeck, Local, Tommy’s, Bungalow, and 1876; all while consistently performing at venues, weddings, corporate events, and lively birthday celebrations. He is also represented by booking agency DJ4You & Better Band.
His sound has been also regularly featured at Ayrburn, Sundays, and other events, further enriching the local music scene. Corporates added the Hilton Group, Heritage, and others to his resume, as well as collaboration with local saxophonists.
Teo joined the Pete Tong DJ Academy, and one of his goals is to share music being played worldwide, also to play at the biggest events/festivals, and to create unforgettable musical experiences with his audience; achieved by empathising with the crowd and playing what feels right in the moment. His talent is employed seamlessly; navigating between genres to create an atmosphere that deeply resonates with listeners.
While not performing, Teo lends his skill as a representative of Apple for the Queenstown area, where his fastidiousness and perfection as an Apple-certified technician and consultant are evident. He is among the most qualified and competent in the industry, overlapping and intersecting with both technology and art.
