< Bio A Native-American of the Oneida and Winnebago tribes, Mark was born and reared on Chicago's north side. His summers and weekends were spent traveling the midwest and Canada with his family, going to native gatherings called "pow wows". During high school, Mark pursued graphic arts. After graduating high school and being accepted to the Art Institute of Chicago, Mark had his sights set on becoming an art teacher. But after a few years of working various jobs, he returned to music full-time. Currently, after years of playing rhythm and lead guitar in an array of different styles including blues, funk, soul, r&b, punk, hard rock, as well as jazz, classical, and musical stage productions, Mark has chosen to fulfill his musical dream. He is always looking for new ways to express the feeling and emotion that only music can offer.
