biography
Mario Pacchioli comes from a family of artists. His Italian father Felice Pacchioli is a visual artist and his Rhaeto-Romanic mother was an accordionist as a girl in the "Maissen Family Chapel". It was also she who passed on her son's passion for music.
At the age of six, Mario Pacchioli played the accordion and performed with his mother as "Piccolo Mario" on numerous occasions. At the age of seven he began classical piano training with Ferenc Bognar and classical vocal training with the Bündner bassist Armin Caduff .

In 2009 his third solo album "Rispondas" was released, which he co-produced. For the first time he also sang songs in French.
