Audio data has often a high entropy, which isn't handled well by normal compression algorithms. That's the reason why MP3 was invented: It is a lossy audio compression algorithm.
So: an MP3 file is by this terms already compressed.

Why not share it with the person concerned using a file sharing service or a service that allows you to send large attachments in emails? Email is not the most efficient way of sending large files.

ste5an is correct. MP3 audio is already compressed; it can't be squeezed further.
I looked into this a couple years ago for grins. Aat that time, 7zip, given the best algorithm and unlimited memory, would do no better than 1 to 2 percent compression of an MP3 file.
So: an MP3 file is by this terms already compressed.
