guitarist with a flair for neoclassical technical dominance, and tasty
composition all wrapped into one package.

it very much, hope to hear more -mart F. “
He is currently working hard on his first self produces release titled “Dreams,
The Beginning”. His plans following the

CDBaby.com, promote it heavily on the internet and put a band together
around the new music tour and sell the Album at the shows.

specifically the piano. He played the
piano for 15 years learning classical pieces and also learning to read. When he started college he studio more music
theory, played guitar in a small jazz choir, and also sang in the jazz
choir. During college he started playing
the guitar very seriously, to the point where he was playing up to fifty or so
hours a week. He took lessons from
Shrapnel Recording Artist Joey Taffola for three years, where Joey help him
improve his technique, and application of technical ideas to songs and music,
and also from Darrin Morris, a GIT graduate for two years, where he learned
more music / mode theory and the theoretical techniques that are required to
write interesting sold music that people will enjoy listening to. Over the past ten or so years he has played
in many original bands, one of which was named “Crimson Bond” where they were
shopped and nearly signed by Relativity Records. While in “Crimson Bond” the band opened for
many big name bands such as “Vicious Rumors”, “Far Beyond the Sun (Jeff
Watson)”, “Savatage”, and others. He has

pop rock to metal. He is currently
playing in a band called “The Classic Hawks” where they are sponsored by “104.1

On the personal side of life Mark enjoys many things such
as, physics and mathematics, where he holds undergraduate degrees in both. He
also enjoys computers and is currently working in the computer industry as a
Network Engineer. His philosophy for
life is, “To learn as much about life as one can and enjoy yourself while doing
it. Never giving up until you achieve what
ever it is you set out to achieve for your life.”
Ultimately in the end his favorite activity is writing, recording, and playing
his own music.
Marks debut album “In My Dreams” promises to
be an emotional,
technically hard hitting collection of tunes that will move the listener though
many moods and feelings. His melodic feel comes through like a freight train
out of control. Dreams, The Beginning is sure to be a smashing success and is
greatly anticipated by his many fans locally, on Myspace.com, and the
Internet in general.
