Mario Torres is guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, VR protagonist and founder of Tejas Kings.
Mario began playing professionally at 16. He has worked with several Texas cover bands, most notably The Hidden Image and Shagnasty. He has performed at Juke joints, Swiss Alp Hall, Gruene Hall, Silver Wings Ballroom, Rockabilly's West, Fatso's, Texas World Speedway, Sambuca', Will Rogers stadium, and thru out the state of Texas.
While in north Texas he worked with several praise and worship teams, ministries, and studios. He has performed with Dorothy Norwood, Cynthia Greene of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Phillips Craig and Dean, MTV pop diva Mikaila, international Messianic artist Ted Pearce, Big Methuselah, Rohn Bailey, and Gregorian Rock.
For the band Big Methuselah, Ted Pearce needed musicians that could play what the 'A list' studio musicians in Texas were recording for his solo project. MarioTorres was on staff at Dan Dean's church, and had played as the band for Phillips Craig & Dean. The best songs on the Big Methuselah release, are the songs that were recorded by this band, not by the 'A list' studio musicians.
Mario has performed on Daystar, and with the band Big Methuselah, got in heavy rotation airplay on several Christian radio rock stations.
His most cherished music endeavors were serving with pastor Dan Dean at Christ Temple church and Steve Solomon and Rohn Bailey at River Walk Fellowship.
In 2007 Mario released a Latin rock instrumental CD "Sojourn."
In 2010 he founded the Dallas band, Tejas Kings and released the Christian gospel blues CD "New Beginnings" in 2012.
Mario continues to explore and record new music, with occasional releases. Tejas Kings has performed at several events and venues in North and East Texas. Highlights include Dallas Southside concerts, Sprang Thang, North Texas Biker Rally, and the On Earth Music Festival.
Mario moved to Houston in 2020 and works with local ministries and performs at private events and local venues.
