[edit] Biography
Born and raised in Seattle, Mark started out as a solo artist in the synth-pop realm. Although his first album Clockwork went virtually unnoticed, it did gain him the attention of Chocolat Sasha, a local electronic band founded by Lance Hayes (vocals/keyboards) and Dan Dale (drums). He soon earned a spot on their roster and proceeded to perform and compose with them for the next few years. After a decision to re-organize and change their name to Meat Distributors, the band shifted its focus to Industrial music and began gigging regularly around the Seattle area. The band broke up in 1997. Eventually his musical interests led him to the world of Electronica and DJ culture. In 2004 he was signed to DJ Rap's record label Propa Talent and has remained there to this day.
Several of his songs have been heard in commercials and television programs around the world. Two of his songs, Stinger and Trucker's Choice, are used in the XBox 360 game Forza Motorsport 2.
