Two of the world\u2019s best-selling R&B artistes Mario and J Holiday, will be storming Ghana next month to stage a grand musical concert at the Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).<\/p>\n

Courtesy 233 Connect<\/strong>, a fast-rising events company committed to raising standards in Ghana\u2019s entertainment industry, Accra will on the 30th of July play host to the two US-based artistes.<\/p>\n

On April 23 at the same venue, 233 Connect<\/strong> organised one of the country best musical concerts with American Hiphop star Fabolous.<\/p>\n

Promising more, the organisers have named R&B superstar Mario, famous for his astounding showmanship and mastery of the genre, as the main headline act for the concert, while the sleek and suave J Holiday, will support him to deliver a spectacular night of pure excitement.<\/p>\n

Both acts, 233 Connect<\/strong> said, will take to the stage of the Dome of the AICC with some of Ghana\u2019s finest and Nigeria\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

Mario, 25, is known in real life as Mario Dewar Barrett. His 2002 hit song Just a Friend<\/em> followed by Let me Love You<\/em> in 2004, have earned him a place in the leagues of extraordinary R&B singers.<\/p>\n

Till date, he has released four studio albums; Mario<\/em> in 2002, Turning Point<\/em> in 2004, Go<\/em> in 2007 and DNA<\/em> in 2009. In the early 2000\u2019s he was ranked on Billboard\u2019s (#98) Artist of the Decade<\/strong> list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Billboard Hot 100<\/strong><\/span>
\nJ Holiday, known as Nahum Grymes, on the other hand came into prominence in 2007 with his chart topping song, Bed<\/em> off the Back of My Lack<\/em> album, which managed a number 5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, the same year.<\/p>\n

Bed<\/em> 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\u2019s A-listers including Fat Joe.<\/p>\n

The two are sure to deliver what would go down in Ghana\u2019s entertainment calendar for 2011 as a concert that came around, saw and conquered.<\/p>\n
