MARC ANTHONY/JENNIFER LOPEZ

Mario Sebastian is a dynamic and multi-talented Latin American artist
born in the Spanish rock capital of South America; Argentina. Mario truly
embodies the new breed of emerging bilingual pop/rock artists. His songs
and music are deeply rooted in harmonic melody and intimate lyrics and he
is widely recognized and respected for his work as the lead guitarist
with top recording artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, La 5a
Estacion among others.

Mario is now pursuing his own solo project with a collection of songs
that evoke emotional and deep lyrics with a very strong melodic
foundation, his influences include everything from Led Zeppelin to
Mercedes Sosa, from Classical to Jazz, from Guns and Roses to Damien Rice
and everything in between. He recently co-wrote with Grammy winning
writer/producer Jose Luis Pagan the spanish ballad ³Ella solo piensa en
el,² and he co-produced with Grammy winner producer Julio Reyes Copello
³Through The Eyes of a Child² (#4 Euro Top 100, #6 German Top 40) for the
German rock band Reamonn.

Mario started off playing drums and then turned his creative expression
to electric and acoustic guitars. Mario studied for two years at "Centro
Polivalente de Arte de Buenos Aires", a conservatory of the arts in
Buenos Aires.

At age 17 Mario decided to relocate to New York City along with a group
of close friends and fellow musicians. It was in New York that he met
Marc Anthony's long time bassist and friend Erben Perez. After being
asked to replace a guitarist who didn't show up for a concert at Madison
Square Garden, Mario was then invited to join the Marc Anthony Band as
their permanent guitarist for both Marc Anthony and his wife Jennifer
Lopez. Since then he has recorded and toured as the lead guitarist for
both Marc and Jennifer; Mario also recorded on Marc¹s new album Iconos
and on various JLo albums including all guitars on her Spanish album
