Mario Biondi is a singer and composer, born in Catania, Italy. In 1988 he had an important
opportunity as support act to Ray Charles' Italian dates. His love for soul music helped shape his
particular vocal styling that takes its cue from great vocalists like Lou Rawls, Al Jarreau and Isacc
Hayes. His first big break came in 2004 with the original release of the single "This Is What You
Are". Originally planned for release only in Japan, the cool and irresistible song gets noticed by
European radio. Well-known DJ, Norman Jay begins to feature the song on his BBC1 show playlist
and Mario's incredible voice crosses the European continent ahead of the artist himself. His album
"If shot up the charts and went triple - platinum. “This Is What You Are” is one of the most
important and iconic Italian jazz vocal tracks of the last decade
