Around middle school was when he first started to get into music production. Jermain Dupri, major hip hop producer and owner of So So Def Records, was his influence when listening to music. In high school Mario was focused on the acoustics of audio. His hobby was dealing with car stereo systems and being able to choose the right configuration that would sound the best in a given vehicle and tune it to a preferred listening style. Turning down various prestigious universities, Mario chose to continue his audio education at the Seattle Art institute.
At the Art Institute he has taken business courses which have educated him on how to make money in the audio industry. Mario has proven skills to successfully come up with sales, marketing, distribution, and promotion of an album. He has learned how to use the industry-standard Pro-Tools to record and mix music, along with Sound Forge, Acid, and Vegas which were used to score a video. Proper miking techniques were acquired in several classes that focused on recording techniques. The knowledge of knowing which microphone to use in different situations with different instruments was obtained in classes that dealt with recording sessions and techniques. Mario has learned to record to different types of mediums, such as 2 inch tape and digital mediums such as computers and ADATS. The school has taught him everything from recording the music onto a media, to mixing it down and creating a master copy of the piece.
