Mateo Justis Briones, professionally known as Teo, embarked on his life's journey in Oxford, England, where his parents, a renowned Filipino actor/singer, Jon Jon Briones, and an accomplished American actress/singer, were temporarily based during their international tour. His sibling, Isa Briones, also followed in their parents' footsteps, pursuing a career in the entertainment industry as an actress/singer.
As fate would have it, Teo's family relocated to Los Angeles when he was just three years old. It was here that he began to hone his acting and modeling skills at the tender age of five. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Teo is a multi-talented musician, proficient in playing the guitar, bass, and drums. His impressive repertoire of skills extends to the realm of martial arts, where he has mastered various disciplines, including XMA, Karate, gymnastics, acrobatics, and cinematic marital arts.
