Adrianna Mateo is a rare triple-threat talent: solo violinist, singer-songwriter, and actress. Since March 2020, her projects include both acting in and music-directing "Specially Processed American Me," which was featured in the New York Times and sold out its theater five times in a row (dir: Karim Muasher and Jaime Sunwoo); performing solo violin in the rock band for the Broadway-bound musical, "A Walk on the Moon" (creative team includes Pamela Gray, Paul Scott Goodman & AnnMarie Milazzo, Andy Einhorn, Josh Prince, and Sheryl Kaller); presenting an original visual single "Love Disconnect" on the same online gala as musical legends Alan Menken, Desmond Child, Erika Ender, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, Joshua Bell, and Sir James Galway; performing an original song "How to Breathe" at the Dramatists Guild Foundation's new location opening alongside Andrew Lippa and Max Vernon; performing a set of original songs on an all AAPI artist program at Joe's Pub at The Public; finishing a studio single with a Grammy Award-nominated team whose credits span Michael Jackson to Björk; performing Prokofiev's equally virtuosic and lyrical Violin Sonata No. 2, 1st mvt. with Met Opera assistant conductor Jonathan Kelly; and performing as a featured solo violinist at a sold-out Carnegie Hall with sarod virtuoso Amjad Ali Khan, his sons, and the Refugee Orchestra Project conducted by Lidiya Yankovskaya.
Adrianna's pre-pandemic schedule included concurrent stage runs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the NYC premiere of a violin concerto written for her and the Met Opera as an actress.
Elegant and edgy, Adrianna's aura lends itself to a dizzying array of projects: she has premiered a violin concerto written for her backed by a fifty-piece orchestra (composer, Mitchell McCarthy), made her Broadway debut in "Tootsie," performed her original songs at MCU Park for more than 40,000 people (Brooklyn Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk), acted in HBO's "Succession," played solo violin on CNN and at the United Nations General Assembly (Refugee Orchestra Project), and sung on MTV. She has also opened solo for Alicia Keys at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park, performed originals at Rockefeller Center's Rainbow Room, and both co-produced and tracked her soon-to-be-released single "Skin Hunger" at Jungle City Studios. Her music, supported by composer Nico Muhly and praised by Grammy Award-winning, multiplatinum producer Bob Power, is announced first via her newsletter and is available on all major online music distributors.
Charismatic both on camera and onstage, Adrianna regularly films and performs throughout - and beyond - her hometown, New York City. She has sung on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, improvised violin at the TimesCenter for tech blog Engadget, performed on stage for multiple runs at the Metropolitan Opera (actress, international HD broadcast with Anna Netrebko) and Metropolitan Museum of Art (music director-curator and solo violinist), performed at the Bang on a Can Summer Marathon (solo violin - that year's only solo artist), recorded for Philip Glass, and performed on tour internationally (Southeast Asia, South Africa, Europe, North America), earning her acclaim from both the New York Times and TimeOut New York.
Adrianna's formative artistic experiences include performing her Carnegie Hall debut on piano at eight years old, studying piano, violin, and flute while also taking ballet, tap, and jazz dance classes, writing new songs every day for a week at the Johnny Mercer Foundation Songwriters Project, and regularly immersing herself for hours in her dad's music collection, which featured the Mateo family's Three B's: Bach, Barbra Streisand, and Billy Idol.
