About Me


I am a Modern-Day Renaissance Man, Peace-Maker, Empath, Indigo Child and Lightworker. I try to live my life by leading by example. I am a positive role model and a foul mouthed lout. I think in 16-Part Harmony. I am waiting for someone who has yet to arrive. A wife and family. I have been studying Music for 20 years, and I have been a Teacher for the past 17. I have released 9 Studio Albums - 6 A Cappella. I am a recovering perfectionist and an Audiophile - I own over 6,000 CDs. I believe in a lot of things, but above all else I believe in myself. I have been to the other side and back, and lived to tell the tale. I drive slow, but paradoxically I can never really relax. I will exceed your expectations if you really get to know me. I live to laugh. At 32, I’m pretty sure I have found the secret to immortality in staying young forever. I have found my true calling, now I have to find a way to get paid for it. I am moving into my first apartment in 7 months.I teach the following musical disciplines, please let me know if anyone would like to sign up for Private Lessons: Voice, Guitar, Bass, Piano, Music Theory, Ear Training, Diaphragmatic Breathing, Arranging, Songwriting, Harmony, Contemporary A Cappella and Holistic Vocals Master Class (Advanced Vocals and Reiki) I also play the Mandolin and the Djembe.I am Certified in Reiki I & II (Energy Healing) under the lineage of Dr. Mikao Usui and availiable for appointments. I am also a Photographer specializing in Band Photography, Portraiture, Still Life and Architecture.To listen to excerpts of The Lightworker’s Union please visit: www.reverbnation.com/markdantetroiano Press Kit: www.sonicbids.com/epk/epk.asp?epk_id=134612 CD’s are $10.00 (plus $3.00 for mail orders) Please order a copy and support all of the hard work we have put into recording this 12 year project.

Sounds Like: I've spent the past 20 years working on my craft to bring out the best in me. I sound like myself: in the shower, driving down the highway, or up on stage. I sing with passion, fury and a well-honed artistic discipline. If I had to compare myself to anyone I think the best comparison I can make is to Ex-Style Council frontman Paul Weller. An aging dinosauar of a Rocker that you've probably never heard of. A fan favorite who lives at the top of his game. A soulful rocker with intellect and heart. If Stevie Wonder and Jonatha Brooke were to have had a child, the would have given birth to me.
