With a personal catchphrase ("BAM!"), and a strong, yet friendly personality, especially when confronting other contestants (Carmen Carrera) and judges (Michelle Visage), Mateo became one of the most memorable contestants of the season.
Over her career, Visage has shared the airwaves with celeb co-hosts RuPaul, Sinbad, and Mario Lopez.

In 1992, she provided lead vocals to another dance act assembled by Clivilles & Cole, The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. Its song "It's Gonna Be a Lovely Day", a cover version of the Bill Withers song "Lovely Day", was included on the soundtrack to The Bodyguard and became a #1 dance single that year, peaking at #34 on the Billboard Hot 100 early the next year.
She would go on to score a pair of number-ones on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart: as part of the S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. alongside Michelle Visage and Cindy Mizelle when they recorded "It's Gonna Be A Lovely Day" in 1993 and as the featured vocalist on José Nunez's 1998 hit "In My Life" (and the number nine follow up "Hold On" in 1999).
