Australian guitarist and composer of instrumental rock-pop songs inspired by: classic rock and the structure and melodies of the greatest songs from pop, blues and soul. As Mark says “The key thing is the song, how the whole experience comes together for the listener. The emotions that were felt, the thoughts imagined and the journey the song takes the listener on in those few minutes”. Living between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, Mark's inspiration often comes from the beaches, ocean and bushland. The music can be energetic, uplifting, and other times chilled. The primary 'thing' in the songs, is the fusion of the rhythm and the melody. How these two elements come together for an awesome listening experince.
