Coming from a musical family, Mario started singing at the age of 9 years old with his influences stemming from his father, Mario Moreno Sr. Growing up on the Southside, he was also influenced by watching his fellow McCollum alumni, Emilio Navaira, and Ram Herrera as well as other influences to include Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, and of course George Strait.
Starting his band in 2010, he’s performed in and around the South Texas region, including the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo and the Y100 Morning Show.
