Mario Elizondo aka Bass Prada originated in the US. He resides in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Mario has played lots of venues, and to this day DJ's all over the West Michigan area. It all started in 2005. With an idea. He began mixing on a computer program. DJ'ing with a laptop and small studio monitors. It slowly began with Hip Hop, and progressed into EDM right around 2007. His friend Luke Cucci Introduced him to the world of Electronic Dance Music. Ever since then, this idea of production rose. All the emotions he has felt all his life, one by one will be portrayed in each song that he writes. He is very knowledgeable in theory and production. Since the early age of 10, he began the journey of sound. He would listen to songs that didn't sound good to him. He was fascinated by this. He grew and started to educate himself in production. It began with mixing on the computer. Track after track. Beat matching became second nature. He had fun but was very intrigued by the sounds he would hear. The year was 2006 It was then when Mario wondered how to reproduce the sounds he would hear. It slowly turned into a hobby. He was attending a very preppy snobby high school where he became very familiar with what tastes good and what doesn't taste so good. He would take top40 pop tracks and alter them in such a way where they were very pleasant to hear. After 7 years, Mario has produced hundreds of original tracks and mash ups/mixes. 2012 marks the year he was signed to a label.
