Mario Biondi
Prepare to be enchanted by the soulful sounds of Mario Biondi, often referred to as the Italian Barry White. This Sicilian-born singer boasts a sensuous baritone that has made him a favorite in the realms of soul and R’n’B. His musical journey began at a young age, and by seventeen, he was sharing the stage with legends like Ray Charles. Collaborations with artists such as Leon Ware, Chaka Khan, Al Jarreau, and James Taylor have further solidified his musical prowess. Mario Biondi’s artistic range knows no bounds, as he delves into jazz, funk, pop, and Brazilian music. His open-minded approach is deeply rooted in his family’s artistic diversity, with a father who was a hitmaker, a grandmother who was a singer, and a great-grandfather who was a painter.
