About Me

:::::::::::::::::::::::::Mark is lead singer and co-writer / producer with new wave electro punksters BURN THE NEGATIVE AND one half of the LIL* DEVIOUS production team. He has produced music for 15 years with muso partner Gary as LIL* DEVIOUS, and under other pseudonyms such as, ROYAL SUITE, Punk house brats, THE HINGES and the more techy orientated guise of PERCY FILTH. Together, They've worked on studio creations with the likes of Calvin Harris, Leee John (Imagination), Mick Karn (Japan/JBK) and has entered the UK charts on more than one occasion:::::::::::::::: Mark also co-owns a very cool hair salon based in the heart of Carlisle, "Atelier Hair Couture LTD" (see his top friends) with a VERY 'creative collective' bunch of stylists. Mark's pet hates are getting messed about by people, and his life's motto is "Surround yourself by people who inspire you". Mark is happily 'attached' to Girlfriend Debz, whom he says is a ridiculously talented individual who goes out and gets what she wants when she wants it, she's not spoiled or anything!!!!!... she creates her own path. He TRIES to do the same!!!:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
