Matthew Alexander Hunter Correa, known professionally as Matt Hunter, is an American singer-songwriter and voice actor born in New York City in 1998. With Colombian and Italian roots, Matt blends Latin pop and contemporary R&B to create a unique sound that resonates across the Americas.
Rising to fame through viral YouTube covers and dubbed the "Latino Justin Bieber," Matt began his music career at a young age, releasing his first single "Mi Amor" at just 13. He has since collaborated with artists like Pitbull and performed to sold-out crowds throughout Latin America. Besides music, Matt lent his voice to the beloved character Diego in the Nickelodeon series "Go, Diego, Go!" and "Dora the Explorer." Today, he continues to captivate fans by bridging cultures with his vibrant music and charismatic performances.
Lista De Espera paints the nightlife like a game of musical chairs where one seat is still up for grabs. Isabela’s character is a self-assured woman who knows every move on the dance floor and in life; she has learned to keep feelings at arm’s length, so any hopeful suitor ends up on her personal “waiting list.” Love promises and grand gestures? No, thanks. She just wants to dance until sunrise, savoring her independence and the rush of the moment.
Matt Hunter plays the persistent admirer who feels the undeniable chemistry and hopes tonight might be his turn to step off that list. Together they sing about living for right now because tomorrow is uncertain: maybe they will wake up side by side, maybe they will wake up as strangers. The song turns the classic love-chase on its head, celebrating freedom, fun, and the thrill of possibility rather than commitment. Get ready to move your feet and keep your heart on standby!
This song is a fun back-and-forth between a guy who's heard all the rumors and the girl they're about. He's been told she's bad news, that her love is temporary, or as he puts it, "pasajero" [fleeting]. But he doesn't care! He's totally into her anyway, saying "me montaría en el vuelo" [I would get on that flight], even if he knows it's a temporary trip. He's heard people say "Dicen que tú eres mala / De ti nadie se salva" [They say you are bad / No one is safe from you], but he's determined to find out for himself.
And what does she have to say about all this? She basically confirms everything! Lele Pons plays the part of a woman who knows everyone wants her but she wants none of them: "Sé que quieren mi cuerpo / De ellos no quiero nada" [I know they want my body / I want nothing from them]. She leans into her reputation as being "fría como el invierno" [cold as winter] and warns him that she's seen plenty of guys like him come and go. It's a playful duet about a woman who owns her heartbreaker status and the guy who wants to be the exception to her rule.
Matt Hunter builds "Juro Que" around a breakup he's trying to talk himself into believing. He opens flatly, "No te esperare si no tu no me perteneces" ("I won't wait for you if you don't belong to me"), then spends the rest of the song repeating the promise that gives the track its title: "Juro que puedo olvidarte" / "Juro que no va a afectarme" ("I swear I can forget you" / "I swear it won't affect me").
The insistence is the point. He admits "Aunque extrañe cada parte" ("although I miss every part") in the same breath as the vow, and by the bridge he's rationalizing it outward — "Si en el mar hay mas peces mejores" ("if there are more fish in the sea, the better") — before landing on the line that actually closes the door: "No tiene sentido reintentar" ("there's no point in retrying"). It's less a song about being over someone than about the exact moment of deciding to be.
Matt Hunter's "Escala En Medellín" is all about a passionate, unforgettable connection. He's been thinking about this person all day, constantly having them on his mind. He remembers a cold February night when they were together, and she even let slip an "I love you" ("se te escapo un 'te quiero'") while they were getting intimate. It sounds like she couldn't get enough of him then, and now he wants to relive that whole experience, specifically making a "stopover in Medellín" ("Haciendo Escala en Medellín") to be with her again.
He's clearly smitten, focusing on the moment he was taking off her jeans ("Mientras te quitaba ese jean"). He doesn't care what anyone else thinks about her style, whether it's jeans or a short skirt; he just knows other people can't stand her because she's always doing her own thing. She's confident and knows what she has, describing her as having a "savage flow" ("flow salvaje") everywhere she goes. It's a fun, flirty song about wanting to repeat a wild, memorable encounter with someone who truly stands out.
Matt Hunter's
"Amor Real" is Matt Hunter's plea to a girlfriend whose parents don't approve of him. He opens on "Hoy desperté contento" ("Today I woke up happy") just from thinking about seeing her again, then names the obstacle right away: "Sé que tus padres están molestos" ("I know your parents are upset") and can't understand what he feels for her. Instead of backing off, he calls it "mi primer amor real" ("my first real love") and bets that her parents will come around, because "También ellos se enamoraron" ("They also fell in love") once themselves.
He owns his age on "Sé que soy muy joven y a veces inmaduro" ("I know I'm very young and sometimes immature"), but treats that as no reason to be written off. Rather than hide from the disapproval, he faces it directly: "Mañana hablaré con tus padres" ("Tomorrow I will talk to your parents"), "No soy un cobarde" ("I'm not a coward"). The song stays inside that one conversation — a young man asking two skeptical parents to take his love as seriously as he does.
Matt Hunter and Tommy Boysen spend this whole song asking for one thing: a second chance. The title says it outright, "Una vez más" ["One more time"], and that phrase repeats through nearly every chorus, like he's begging before she can say no. He opens by admitting he still thinks about her: "Extraño aquellas noches cuando te tenía" ["I miss those nights when I had you"]. That's the whole pitch. Not a grand apology, just a guy who can't get the memory out of his head.
The verses get playful once the mood shifts from missing her to wanting her back physically. He compares the pull to a drug: "Corre por mis vena' como la morfina" ["It runs through my veins like morphine"]. Then he throws in a couple of cocky flexes about matching sneakers and jewelry, the kind of swagger that undercuts how needy the chorus actually is. The song repeats on purpose, the same plea dressed up different ways, until "una vez más" stops sounding like a question and starts sounding like he's sure she'll say yes.
Matt Hunter and Jerry Di get super real in "Sinceros"! This song is all about a secret love affair and the woman's struggle with her conscience. She's tired of lying to her current partner, as the lyrics say, "Dice que está cansada de mentir" [She says she's tired of lying] and "Que la consciencia la tiene mal" [That her conscience is bothering her].
But when her boyfriend leaves, she's always calling up the other guy. The song's main argument is pretty blunt: "Si nos vamos a poner sinceros, dile que yo te lo hago mejor" [If we're going to be sincere, tell him I do it better]. They claim her current relationship is loveless, and they're just doing her a favor because "En la noche no te daba calor" [At night he didn't give you warmth]. Jerry Di even playfully declares, "Que ese culito e' mío" [That butt is mine]! It's a bold and honest look at a complicated situation where feelings and desires are definitely taking over.
Matt Hunter's "Problemas" is all about that irresistible, chaotic love that turns your world upside down! He starts by talking about how he was taught to be a "niño bueno" [good boy] and always follow the rules. But then he meets this girl, and suddenly, "Desde que te vi, Todo es un desastre" [Ever since I saw you, everything is a disaster]. He's late for everything, can't think of anything but her, and even confuses Tuesday for Saturday!
He's completely smitten, even though she brings a lot of "problemas" [problems] into his life. He sings, "Tú te portas mal, así me gustas más" [You misbehave, that's why I like you more], admitting he'll do whatever she wants, even if it gets him into trouble. GASHI's verse adds to this, saying she's bringing "All these problems on me," but he still loves her because she's "Hotter than lava." It's a fun, energetic look at how love can make you happily throw all caution to the wind!
Get ready to dive into Matt Hunter and Lenny Tavarez's "Cazador"! This song is all about a thrilling, late-night connection between two people. Our singer describes how this woman always calls him after 1 AM, ready to leave her house and telling him, "ven que me haces falta" [come, I miss you]. He can never say no to her, especially when she sends him voice notes that make it impossible to resist!
It's clear there's a strong, almost obsessive, attraction. She's his "abusadora" [abuser, in a playful, seductive way], always asking him to go out and even sending him photos to get his attention. He declares, "Yo soy de ella y ella es mía" [I am hers and she is mine], emphasizing their intense bond. She's a fan of everything he does, and he's completely drawn to her, ready to drop everything for their late-night adventures. It's a high-energy track about a passionate, undeniable connection that keeps them coming back for more!
