Mario

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by R&B singer Mario. Mario is a legend of 2000s R&B. After adapting Biz Markie’s “Just a Friend” when he was only 15 — which opened his 2002 self-titled album — he soon entered global stardom. Ever since, he’s delved into different lanes, including acting, writing, and independently launching his New Citizen label, and cemented his legacy. Additionally, he released a new single, “Main One,” last summer, which features Tyga and last week’s guest Lil Wayne — a track whose alluring music video boasts over 12 million views. ------- Listen to their Artist Friendly conversation on ⁠⁠⁠Spotify.⁠⁠ ------- Follow Artist Friendly!
