Both acts, 233 Connect have said, will take to the stage of the Dome of the AICC with some of Ghana’s finest and Nigeria’s best.

Mario, 25, is known in real life as Mario Dewar Barrett. His 2002 hit song Just a Friend followed by Let me Love You in 2004, has won him worldwide acclaim, and earned him a place in the leagues of extraordinary R&B singers. Till date, he has released four studio albums; Mario in 2002, Turning Point in 2004, Go in 2007 and DNA in 2009. In the early 2000’s he was ranked on Billboard’s (#98) “Artist of the Decade” list.

Known in showbiz circles as Nahum Grymes, J Holiday came into prominence in 2007 with his Bed chart topping song off the Back of My Lack album, which managed a number 5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, the same year. Bed continues to be a favourite of most lovers of the genre in Ghana. The 27-year-old songwriter has featured extensively on the works of some of America’s A-listers including Fat Joe.

Given their combined impressive repertoire and experience, all two are sure to deliver what would go down in Ghana’s entertainment calendar for 2011 as a concert that came around, saw and conquered.
