Behind the mic or a mixing board, mario is a multi-instrumentalist who's
trying to bring the truth in life to the forefront of his music. On stage as m·prime he's a mash of freestyle emcee, singer-songwriter and guitarist who mixes the
lyricism of hip hop and folk while standing on the shoulders of funk and
soul. Off stage he's the principle producer/designer for Five Fathom
Studios.
On top of his solo work, m·prime is also currently a performing member of DNA6,
Bedroomstudio, Alex Maher Band and Mobadass.
