Prince Williams/Wireimage)I never had a chance to chop it up with R&B crooner Mario, but so glad I did. He's one of the most down-to-earth brothers in the industry I've met in a long time. Born and raised in Baltimore, he admitted he never wanted to be a singer.
Even though he signed his first record deal at the age of 14, he remains humble. Not long after signing, his big hit "Just A Friend" got him noticed. I loved the fact that though he emits sensuality and sexuality, he's so much more than that as you'll hear in our candid conversation on music, fans, staying fit and love.
