Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Columbus, OH. Mark John was influenced to music at the age of 3. He loved to play records. His mother would buy him records all the time because he love to pretend he was a radio disc jockey. He would spend hours playing records in his room so his mother had to set a time-limit because that's the only thing he love to do.At the age of 11 he started to play drums. He was very good at it. He never took any lessons, just played by ear. Mark always knew that someday he would be able to make an album. For years, he would play drums in church, but sometimes his pastor would rebuke him for playing too loud.One day his pastor made a suggestion to his uncle to form a group along with his cousins called The Clark Bros. At the age of 14, Mark and his cousins sang various songs by the Winans and Commissioned. They travelled across the state of Ohio and performed at various church gatherings. From time to time they still perform at their church home but Mark still had a vision to do a solo project.In 2003, Mark decided to teach himself to play the piano. He would practice everytime he would get the chance when he would have free time. Later on he would write songs even the songs that were playing in his head before he was able to play the piano. He met a friend from work who would hear him sing and talked to Mark and ask if he would like to record in his studio. Mark didn't think he was ready but his friend encouraged him. So, he decided to record his very first cd. More than just a drummer indeed! Mark John's song titles & lyrics provoke a pleasant feeling of Love & Truth. A fine talented Christian artist with a unique voice, eclectic melodies and heart-flowing lyrics. Listen to him sing and you will experience a pureness of music seldom encountered. A true blessing for all with a good ear for real Christian music.This album will give you a brand new start in life. THIS IS HIS BEST ONE YET!!! ..
