Born and raised in Baltimore, Mario started improving his natural vocal skills while singing along with his mom using a karaoke machine at home. The promising singer was discovered at the age of 11 in a local talent show. The pop-rap enthusiast traveled to N.Y.C. to become a new R&B artist, developed by producer Clive Davis soon after. Following his contribution to the Dr. Doolittle 2 soundtrack and a captivating performance of Stevie Wonder's "You and I" at Clive Davis' Grammy party in February 2002, the newcomer was ready to get involved in the contemporary hip-hop scene. At the age of 15, Mario debuted with the release of "Just a Friend 2002," produced by Warryn Campbell and based on rapper Biz Markie's hit "Just a Friend." His self-titled album followed in July, featuring contributions by Grammy-winning Alicia Keys. His second album, Turning Point, followed in late 2004, which featured the #1 US smash hit "Let Me Love You".

(if you want to the save the MP3) on the name of the MP3 that you want to listen to. Easy as...
