Mark’s first original album ‘Because of You’ was recorded at the famous Rockfield Studios and was officially released by LPW Records Ltd. It received airplay on BBC Radio 2 and had multiple plays on BBC Radio Wales as album/single of the week.

Following on from this success, Mark is about to tour his new album ‘One Night One Chance’. This album is a throwback to his College days and his diverse musical influences. '

One Night One Chance' crosses over musical boundaries by combining modern Pop with classic Jazz standards to create instantly catchy upbeat songs. It also mixes R&B beats into lyrical music in the emotive writing style of the first album.
