Grammy-nominated R&B singer, songwriter, and actor Mario has cemented his legacy as one of the genre’s most impactful voices. Mario rose to fame with his platinum 2002 debut breakout hit “Just a Friend 2002,” and later delivered the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “Let Me Love You,” which earned him two Billboard Music Awards and a Grammy Nomination. The single cemented him in the R&B genre as one of the greatest R&B performers of this generation. Fast forward to 2025, Mario has multiple Top 10 singles under his belt and over 20 years of chart success. He continues to put his foot on the gas with his viral Kehlani “Folded” cover, and surprised fans popping out during Drake’s Wireless Fest set earlier this year. Mario remains a defining force in R&B, praised for his timeless vocals and authentic storytelling that continue to influence a new generation of artists while staying true to real R&B.
