Accidentally Awesome

About Me

Mark Miller is 'Markitect.' He uses a computer a guitar and other technology to craft a catchy punk-pop sound that will infect your senses and leave you wanting more. Like many other one man acts, Mark started out with a band but over time everyone quit and he became tired of the whole process of trying to get new members . Once he realized that the computer is always ready to practice or play when he is, he knew that was the way to go. The sound is a mixture of computer sequenced beats and leads and live guitar and vocals. Influenced by the likes of Atom and His Package, Devo, Superchunk, Weezer, Green Day, NOFX the Vandals and even Raffi, Mark hopes to create a unique musical vibe that will invoke some fun times in everyone. Lyrical inspiration is drawn from every corner of his life including videos from 8th grade health class.Enjoy
