Kicking off the #MarioMonday series on Monday (July 11) at 6 p.m. ET with a Serenade Takeover, fans can watch the Grammy nominated Billboard chart-topper sing some of his most beloved hits live on Instagram via the official Femme It Forward account.

Also as part of #MarioMonday, Mario just might tease his upcoming new tunes, discuss his upcoming expansive memoir, belt grooves from Closer to Mars or Dancing Shadows and more. His most recent vocal showdown attracted a massive audience, with more than 5.1 million viewers and a whopping 6.9 million live comments across all platforms during the event.

Teasing his upcoming MGM performance, Mario wrote on Instagram, “I’M COMING TO THE DMV BABY!!”
