Mario is a songwriter, formally trained bass player, and mixing engineer from Los Angeles.  Mario has been developing his craft since he was 10 and has an academic working knowledge of music notation and theory.  Mario’s bass playing style has a heavy Motown influence infused with a hard edged alt/indie and pop sensibility.  His unique style lends itself well to the Rock, Blues, R&B, Jazz, and Pop musical genres he plays. 
Currently Mario is teaching, playing, mixing, and producing music around the Los Angeles area.  Mario has been touted by his former teachers and music industry insiders as one of the most promising young musicians and producers coming up in the Los Angeles music scene today.
Mario’s love for music and exposure to the arts comes from his musical family.  His great grandfather, father, and uncle were all notable working musicians in the LA music scene.  Mario has used his talent to inspire and enrich the lives of those around him.
Mario’s is a gifted songwriter who draws influence from Kurt Cobain, Jim Croce, Bob Dylan, and Lou Reed.  In a recent interview, Mario said that, “most of the songs I write come from personal experiences as well as stories others have shared with me.  My inspiration is drawn from writing about the insecurities of myself and of the others around me. I try to dive deep and question the existence of normalcy and acceptance in modern societies.”   Mario believes that simplicity is key to his songwriting and, in the words of Lou Reed, “One chord is fine.  Two chords are pushing it.  And three you’re into jazz.”

Mario currently is a music teacher at the prestigious Arts Academy and Boys & Girls Club of the Los Angeles, and is developing his own production company.
