Artist Description Mark is a classically trained pianist and keyboardist, songwriter, and composer who plays mostly ‘by ear’. For some years, Mark also played the violin, including fiddle in a folk-rock band. Influenced by his father’s boogie-woogie playing, the Beatles, Bach, and by his own violin and string ensemble experiences, Mark’s music and interpretations are both technical and melodic, often tending towards theatrical.
He has performed and written in a variety of genres and in a variety of music projects, including solo (recitals, lounges, special occasions), duos, bands, music theatre, improv comedy theatre, children’s music and dance, and a documentary video. He has performed in many venues in Vancouver and Victoria, BC and some of his music, in both classical and rock genres, has received radio airplay.
Mark is a member of SOCAN and the AFM. He is also the Secretary-Treasurer of the Musicians’ Association of Victoria & the Islands, AFM Local 247. |
