Guitar 9 says:

Brazilian guitar player and composer Mateus Starling graduated from the Berklee College of Music Summa Cum Laude majoring in performance. With a very unique approach to composition and improvisation, Starling started to get his teacher's attention at Berklee. Bob Doezema declared, "Mateus Starling is an extremely talented guitar player; he has developed a very unique sound and approach to playing his instrument that is both very musical and virtuosic." While a student, Mateus had classes with Mick Goodrick, Hal Crook, Tiger Okoshi and David Tronzo. Influenced by John Scofield, Scott Henderson, Arnold Shoenberg, atonal composers and other musicians from jazz and Brazilian music to rock and fusion, Starling delivers an electrifying set of tunes on his debut CD with a very strong emphasis on modern jazz-fusion. Energetic, beautiful compositions with lots of space for improvisation, Kairos is not just a guitar-oriented CD. Recorded by top musicians from Brazil, the United States and Chilem such as Jesse Scheinin (tenor sax), Chris Cabrera (electric bass) and Pablo Eluchans (drums). Featured on two songs recorded as a trio are Edu Nali (drums) and Caio Slonzon (bass).
