Live Your Truth
Mark Weintz, a musician based out of Tulsa, OK, has been writing, producing, and recording his own music since 1994. Mark currently produces an eclectic form of hip-hop. Lyrical influence is drawn from new-age existentialist philosophy and delivered with an old-school inspired flow. Musically, inspiration comes from UK grime, electronica, and pop. Weintz addresses issues around love, spirituality, environmentalism, homophobia, social injustices, world peace, and the occasional good time, all through his personal, sometimes quixotic, perspective on life.
Mark has published several albums under the band names Pale and Future Platinum Audio. His latest release, "The Tao of Pale" was released in 2006 under the name Future Platinum Audio. Mark's music has taken on many genres, including goth, electronica, experimental, emo, post-rock, shoe-gaze, and ambient.
Past and Present members of Mark's backing band, the FPA Crew, includes: guitarist Dave Chamberlin, MC Ho-D, keyboardist and singer Rebecca Sanborn, drummer Ji Tanzer, vocalist Phredi, and violinist Michael Nicholson.
Check out Mark's ambient project, Robots for Peace .

This Film is by Tony Shilling of Skratch Films. It features FPA's "Good Flight" instrumental.
