Mark’s music career began in the late 1980’s DJing at early Acid House parties in the North East of England. He co-founded the now infamous Atlas Records store in 1995 which became one of Soho’s most influential independent specialist record stores. Simultaneously he founded experimental record label Vertical Form which quickly became a leader in forward thinking electronic music and is now deemed a cult label of the genre.
Following this he became head of A&R at the legendary Peacefrog Records signing the double platinum selling singer / songwriter Jose Gonzalez and critically adored electronic pop outfit Little Dragon. In 2008 Mark moved into music supervision initially specialising in commercials, branded content, fashion films and trailers and then feature films and TV drama. In 2010 he launched the esteemed electro-acoustic recording company Village Green Recordings, an acclaimed and leading artistic platform for contemporary classical composers and electronic artists.
He now operates independently as a freelance music supervisor working solely and exclusively in Film and Television and is considered one of the most creative, discerning and respected supervisors in the field today.
