Mateo Lopez began his professional career at age 4, earning him a designation in the Guinness Book of World Records as the World’s Youngest Mariachi.
After a chance meeting in San Antonio, Sonny was so inspired by his talent and story that he invited him to be a special guest and tell his story on the show.
At age 8, Mateo has a clear vision of his entertainment roadmap, using his gift to lift spirits nationally and internationally. (He traveled to Milan, Italy where he performed at the prestigious, Le Show De Records and brought the house down with his voice and innocent charm.
When Sonny asks, “Do you ever get nervous?”, his response is priceless!
This is a very special show with a very special young man.
Enjoy, and stick around for a very touching surprise at the end.
Viva, Mateo!
