hi, i'm mario. i like music.
for most of my life, i've loved playing different instruments and creating different kinds of art. i'm very grateful i've gotten to travel across the u.s. with my friends and put on shows, meet new people, and gain new experiences.
i've lived in nashville, tennessee since august 2020, and started college at lipscomb university that same month. about halfway through, i began touring very frequently, and balanced being a traveling musician and a full-time student for the remainder of pursuing my degree. i graduated in may 2024 with a b.a. in music production & music business, and lots of touring experience as a performer and music director under my belt.
you can take a look at my work history here. i'll try to update it as often as i remember to. but to briefly give some highlights, i've performed in almost all 50 u.s. states with my band FOX ROYALE and have opened for a wide array of other artists/bands including: Plain White T's, Switchfoot, Royel Otis, Colony House, almost monday, The Wldlfe, Ripe, and a lot more. my contributions in songwriting and production have been featured in works that have been placed on editorial playlists across Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, a feature on TikTok's #NewMusic playlist, and an advanced placement on SiriusXM's Alt Nation.
i'd love to connect with you and be a part of something you're creating. whether it be a live show, a song, an album, or some other endeavor.
