Mario

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&B

Mario is a Contemporary R&B act. Their sound grew out of Ne-Yo, Rico Love, Biz Markie, Scott Storch and Stevie Wonder. Those roots explain a lot about how Mario arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Ne-Yo, Usher, Joe, Omarion and Tyrese, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into ZAYN, Zayn Malik, 4Minute, Apink and Mind of Mine, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 57 connections around Mario, reaching back through Ne-Yo and forward to ZAYN.
