Mark was born in Coventry, England in 1961. By the age of 8 he had taken up his first instrument – Clarinet. His love for music continued, and at 12 years old he was given a drum kit by his father. By the age of 13, Mark was already touring locally as drummer and did his first tour of England with the Punk Band ‘Squad’ at the age of 16.

After achieving national acclaim with their first single, Mark left to attend college in Bristol. At 19 Mark joined the 70s hit band ‘Mud’ and during his 3 year intensive touring, he founded his own band ‘Red Hot Red’ who went on to sign with Tony Stratton Smith’s (Genesis) Canary Music.
