Around the same time, he started composing raps as well. These videos eventually caught the attention of many and Mario managed to accumulate a decent number of fans in a short period of time.

He used his fame to exhibit his skills to a number of people and gradually came up with the idea of releasing music albums. Mario met a few producers at a party and they agreed to produce his debut single ‘Ven a Bailar’ (Come Dance).

He also went on tours as a supporting artist for singers and bands like Austin Mahone and ‘The Wanted.’ Mario was part of more than 50 shows throughout 2015. Some of the shows that he was part of include ‘The Teatro Metropolitan Tour’ and ‘Preparando El Camino Tour.’ By the age of 20, Mario was already a star in Mexico as he had more than eight million followers across various social media platforms.

In 2015, Mario received four major awards, namely ‘Best North American Act’ at ‘MTV Europe Music Award,’ ‘Kids’ Choice Award,’ and a couple of ‘MTV Millennial Awards.’ He then released his debut album ‘Aqui Estoy’ in 2016. The album was a major hit and Mario made it to the list of Billboard’s ‘Social 50 Chart,’ which had artists like Selena Gomez, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift. After the release of the album, he also received the ‘Kids’ Choice Award’ under the category ‘Estrella Latina Favorita’ (Favorite Artist in Mexico).
