Mario lives in Johannesburg, South Africa.

He started playing guitar at the age of 19 in 1987. 

He has a passion for most musical styles including New Age, Fusion and Rock. 

Recently, Mario has been delving into music of a more relaxing and spiritual nature and these efforts have now been recorded on his debut CD called Soul Journey. Some of the songs are relaxing in nature, others inspirational and some have lyrics that are uplifting and can be used as Mantras or Positive Affirmations.

Mario is currently working on various projects including music for sync licensing.
