A warm, deep sensual voice, yet clear and confident: Mario Biondi, born Mario Ranno, patiently and carefully cultivated his musical passion starting from a tender age alongside his father: singer Stefano Biondi, in honour of whom Mario took on his stage name.

Many diverse experiences made Mario the great artist what he is today: from singing in church choirs to being session singer for niche labels, without neglecting his studies and learning the English language, being Sicilian from Catania, both by birth and by inclination. A lover of soul music, in 1988 he began supporting artists of international standing, right up to the calibre of the legendary Ray Charles.

“Sun”, Mario Biondi’s latest album, is an album of great quality with an international touch, produced by Biondi himself together with Jean Paul Maunick, aka Bluey, the lead singer of the greatly successful British Jazz band Incognito.

The album feature guest appearances by Omar, Chaka Khan , Al Jarreau, James Taylor (J.T. Quartet) and Leon Ware.
