R&B Singer Mario Preps ‘Dancing With The Stars’

Mario

We’ve all seen his peers like Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Usher, amongst others dance in videos but have you ever really witnessed R&B singer Mario dance? Well it looks like you will get your chance, as the Baltimore bred has signed up for next season’s "Dancing With the Stars," which returns to ABC on March 17. Mario's latest cd ‘Go’, which was dedicated to his mom Priya Malde, was released in South Africa under Gallo Records on October 9, 2007, in the U.S. on December 11, 2007 and includes collaborations with Jermaine Dupri, Ne-Yo, Scott Storch, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Timbaland, Bryan Michael Cox, Nelly, Alicia Keys, The Neptunes, Akon, Dre & Vidal, Sean Garrett, Trey Songz and Mr. Collipark. Mario, who has described the album as "sex... more personal... more passionate", had more creative control on Go! than on his previous two albums. Besides his upcoming run on “Dancing With The Stars,” Mario stated that he is going to tour and work with other singers on their projects. For his next set, Mario tells Billboard he's "probably gonna work with no more than four producers, maybe two or three, but no more than four."
