Dresito — born Andres Mateo Jimenez — is an emerging 16-year-old artist of Dominican and Colombian descent bringing a refreshing and culturally rich voice to the next wave of Latin music. With velvety vocals, bilingual lyricism, and a signature fusion of English and Spanish, he bridges classic romance with contemporary edge, embodying a global sound with universal appeal.

 

Raised in New York City, Dresito grew up surrounded by the rhythms of old-school R&B, reggae, bachata, and salsa. Today, he blends those influences with modern production and acoustic textures, reimagining timeless Latin and soul traditions for a new generation. His commitment to clean, uplifting, and positive storytelling sets him apart in a landscape often shaped by explicit themes — offering music that inspires while still carrying the charisma, rhythm, and confidence of contemporary youth culture. Dresito’s artistry is rooted in performance. At only seven years old, he began captivating crowds across NYC, combining gymnastics, dance, and early vocal talent inspired by icons such as Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars. His natural stage presence later expanded into fashion and creative direction, evolving into a multidisciplinary approach that merges sound, movement, and style.

​

A standout in youth streetwear culture, Dresito has been invited to perform original music and model at New York, Los Angeles, and Miami Fashion Week. His bold style — equal parts NYC flair and Latin smooth — continues to spark attention in both music and fashion circles, positioning him as a cultural voice for his generation.

​

Outside the spotlight, he is dedicated to growth — actively studying vocals, dance, piano and guitar to sharpen his musicianship and deepen his craft. With fearless ambition, cultural pride, and a clear creative vision, Dresito represents the future of bilingual talent and is poised to make a meaningful, lasting imprint on the global music scene.
