About Me

Mark is a product of the New Jersey music scene. After leaving for a short while to study at the Musicians Institute of Technology in Hollywood California, he returned to New Jersey to begin work as a studio musician in New Jersey and New York. While playing in bands on the Jersey scene, Mark fired off audition material to Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio. Mark’s fellow New Jersey axe slinger from Zyris, Zakk Wylde , got the job with the Oz.

He then joined forces with Dean Fasano (Message, Richie Sambora group, Jon Bon Jovi, and Prophet) to write and record. One of the songs, Fine Line, which transpired from working with Dean Fasano became the title track on the 1998 MESSAGE release. Mark then moved on to write, record, and tour with Persian Risk out of Orlando Florida. The band was fronted by vocalist Carl Sentence (Krokus, Geezer Butler Band, and Paul Chapman’s Ghost). While Mark was an active member of the Florida music scene, he studied with vocal coach, Ron Feldman (Vocal coach for Jani Lane of Warrant).

After leaving Florida in the late 90’s, Mark relocated to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and eventually joined forces with Clyde Holly & Rob Gronkoski as a part of the band BILOXI . Upon the untimely death of our friend/band mate, Clyde Holly, Mark took over the Lead Vocals for the up coming BILOXI release.

Mark is in the studio working with Rob Gronkoski on the release of BILOXI III, due out in the SUMMER of 2007.

Band Members: MARK IS A MEMBER OF THE BAND BILOXI. BILOXI lost their friend/singer, Clyde Holly, who passed away in his sleep in September 2006. The remaining members of BILOXI will be finishing BILOXI III in honor of Clyde Holly.

We were blessed to still have Clyde's signature sound all over this release and several tracks with his voice throughout.
