MARIO BERGER

Austrian Mario Berger has shown many different sides to his musical personality. Besides his classical training, he has explored Mediterranean cultures and acoustic genres like flamenco, but has also strongly been influenced by Brazilian music- both the European-influenced jazz sound of the bossa nova as well as polyrhythmic Afro-Brazilian sounds.

Mario Berger started playing the guitar at the age of 12. He was the youngest student to be admitted to the Vienna College of Music.  In 1985, he founded his own band “Espresso” which hit number one in the Austrian charts. 

In 1990 he joined the band of Austrian singer/songwriter Rainhard Fendrich. In 1995 he received the Austrian gold award as producer of the CD debut of cartoonist Manfred Deix, entitled "Manfred Deix & die Good Vibrations Band".

Berger made himself famous for being one of the most sought-after session guitarists in Vienna. His capability of emulating many styles enhances his value as a session musician.
