"Internationally Recognized"

Hewer is a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter who has written volumes of material over the years. But unlike most musicians who turn to record labels for their power, Hewer turned to an obvious (although underused) location: the Internet. Hewer has quietly gained the attention of many international sources and his music now graces many a worldly sound system. His music is also a road map of sounds - ranging from Vangelis-esque instrumentals to classic rock sounds reminscent of bands like Journey or Asia. But his talent his undeniable and his passion for exposing the world to his music is simply unmatched." - The Windsor Scene


"Polished"

" 'Swayed' was a polished, cinematic gem, the result of a collaboration with vocalist, Daniel Iorio, from Montreal, Canada, and guitarist, Mike Burn, from Germany. This trio came together when Daniel had heard another of Mark's songs on the internet, and decided to put lyrics to it. The partnership worked, and resulted in Mike Burn coming onboard to add the finishing touch. What surprises me is the total lack of artist ego when you talk to Hewer. Where most artists would be white-knuckled at the prospect of someone else messing with their work, he completely trusted Iorio and Burns, and the collaboration has certainly worked." - Sue Braiden at CBC Radio - CBC Radio

Bio

Meet multi-instrumentalist, songwriter/musician Mark Hewer from Windsor, Ontario. Mark's songs have received national airplay on CBC Television in Canada and both FM & AM radio airplay. Mark Hewer is a pioneer of online collaborations who has taken the Internet by storm. Mark just completed a history making journey to Frankfurt, Germany, where he met fellow Internet collaborators Mike Burn and Daniel Iorio in person, for the first time, after 4 years of writing songs together over the Internet. Hewer has written volumes of material over the years, but unlike most musicians who turn to record labels for their power, Hewer turned to an obvious (although underused) location: the Internet. Hewer has quietly gained the attention of many international sources and his music now graces many a worldly sound system.

Sue Braiden of CBC Radio says "Mark Hewer is a gentle, passionate and gifted composer. His ability to collaborate is likely the product of his experience as a drummer for various bands on the circuit. Hewers got much more than just a knack for rhythm. His ability to create well-textured scores is almost poetic, not getting caught in the trap of formula songs. He adroitly crosses genres, moving as easily through instrumentals and vocal pop pieces as he does the jazzy, delicious little piano riffs. Mark Hewers scores are shapeshifters -- melodically layered journeys that are a delight to take."

Mark's song "Maya" is a '2006 SongDoor International Songwriting Competition' finalist in the Instrumental category.
Songdoor Evaluation - "Gorgeous. Please send this to movie studio production managers. It's great score material. The variations are excellent. Great dynamics, emotion, lift, swell, all that good stuff. Nice ending too. One of the better instrumentals we've received - it easily made the cut. Great job!"
