Multi-faceted young singing sensation Mario Ananda Abeykoon, the son of late Gratien Ananda, launched his latest project ‘Universe to Emma’, a tribute song to Emma Watson who acted as ‘Hermione’ in the movie Harry Potter. This song is being released today, Sunday, 25th of August parallel to the ‘Women’s Equality Day’ which falls on the 26th of August.

Mario’s latest project is ‘Universe to Emma’, a tribute song to Emma Watson who acted as Hermione in The movie Harry Potter.

‘Emma is a well-educated talented inspirational woman of our generation. She voiced about women’s equality and also a frontline inspiration for the rights of both children and women in the world. That is why I name this song ‘Universe to Emma’ as a recognition to her effort’ said Mario.

‘Universe to Emma’ project creates an opportunity to almost 40 girls in the age group of 10 to 20 years, who are talented in drawing pictures to participate in the visual category  to showcase their drawing skills by drawing Emma Watson’s face on Canvas. National Museum in Colombo was the location of this shoot as Mario believe that was the best place for this visual, mainly because of its historical value, amazing beauty and magnificence. All the Girls who are participating for this Visual with their arts from various schools make this project’s accomplishment with vibrancy.

Mario Ananda is currently doing a project called ‘Living on the edge’ to inspire School Children to go beyond their limits with their talents to develop themselves to be better citizens.

The song is all about the children who died since the dawn of the age due to various wars and conflicts. The visual of this song will soon be coming out on ‘Living on the Edge’ series on PEO TV- Channel 18  .

Mario is a professional Singer, Music Director, creative Director and innovative activist. He is the Creative Director of many music video productions, short films and documentaries produced under his production house for over a decade. His vision is to inspire and enlighten specifically the children, and provide them guidance for a better way of life and turn them away from becoming addicted to drugs, alcohol, smoking and unsafe social media. Mario genuinely does these kind of productions as a social cause, without any profit oriented motivation, as he believes that these are the aspects which must be given attention by them as Sri Lankans in order to bring up a generation with true bravery and purpose for a better Sri Lanka.
