Mark Payne

I am a native of Baltimore, Maryland now residing in Tampa, Florida. I studied piano at the Peabody Preparatory School of Music and Shenandoah College and Conservatory of Music. I have a lovely wife, Virginia and four beautiful children. God has blessed me to accompany such artists and ministries as Rev. Archie Dennis Jr., Lillie Knauls, Larnelle Harris, Benny Hinn, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Karen Wheaton, Judy Jacobs, Edwin Hawkins, Ron Kenoly, Richard Smallwood, Deitrick and Damita Haddon, Jessy Dixon and a host of others. I was featured as one of the pianist in Dino's spectacular five piano "Pianorama". I've served as Music Director at New Life Christian Center in Tampa, Florida for eight years and the organist for World Evangelism for over 20 years. My travel has taken me throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, South Africa, and Korea. I've composed and arranged music for Dony and Reba McQuires release, "Suddenly" and i'm featured on the keyboards. God has also blessed me to perform and arrange songs on Larnelle's "A Story to Tell" recording. I currently serve as Director of Fine Arts at Without Walls International Church Tampa, Fl. with Bishop Randy and Pastor Paula White and have accompanied them regularly on TBN. My instrumental recordings include: Perfect Peace, Glorify Him, Secret Place, Secret Place 2 , Mark Payne Christmas and my NEW!! release , TEST OF TIME. All these CD's can be purchased on my website:MARKPAYNEMINISTRIES.COM . You can find a link to this site from my Profile. I am also available for performances and studio work. My first love is Jesus Christ and I believe whole heartedly that my musical talent is a gift from God to be used as a vessel to usher men and women into His Very Presence. GOD BLESS U
