Tomás Matos (they/them) has released their latest show-stopping dance track “Make an Entrance.” The song was produced and arranged by Devin Lewis, Tomás Matos and 808 BEACH (John “J-C” Carr & Bill Coleman).

About the inspiration behind the song, Matos shares “First impressions are lasting, and what better way to capture everyone’s attention than to make a sickening entrance?! Whether you’re walking into an audition, an interview, a date, or to a room your boobookitty ex is in, this song will get you ready to turn all the heads. And once all eyes are on you, you betta make them EAT IT.” 

Matos has also debuted a brand new visualizer for their recent club anthem “Keep It Pumpin’ (Reloaded),” filled with fun vibes and iconic choreography. Filmed by Nate Cohen and featuring dancers Julian Burzynski and Milo Leon, the visualizer was impressively shot in one take during this year’s WeHo Pride festivities.

Produced by 808 BEACH and Matos, the single is about being unapologetically yourself and connecting with the right people that celebrate you for being who you are. Matos says, “’Keep It Pumpin”” came about as a means for me to express the feelings I was having towards the haters on social media who were so pressed about me just living my damn life. It’s a bad bitch anthem, a bad bitch mantra, and hater repellent baby. Repeat these lyrics to your haters and watch them get real quiet. Periodt.” 

During Pride month, Matos also released their debut single “Honestly, Cvnt.” Produced by John “J-C” Carr, Matos and Bill Coleman, “Honestly, Cvnt” is a feel-good, empowering track that celebrates self-expression and self-confidence.

Matos shares, “It isn’t a bad word. It’s a reclamation of what it means to own your femininity. Anyone can be cvnt. Think of it as an adjective, not a noun. You’re not a cvnt, honey. You are cvnt. You know what I’m saying?”
