Bio

"This kid sings so good, I want to punch him in the throat." - Big Band Legend, Buddy Greco
“It is great to see that good music will be carried on by such young talent” - Sonny King (Dino's former roommate)
"An extremely talented performer" - Tim Russert, Meet the Press
"I'm totally enjoying myself" - David Alan Grier
Mark has spent most of his life crooning tunes and playing "jazz standards" (songs that were born long before he was).
After 8 years achieving greatness in the construction industry, Mark began pursuing a full-time career in entertainment. He made the "full transition" in October of 2000. He later admits he did it mostly to improve chances of meeting Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Three years passed, with no results, so he realized that he needed to take his singing career more seriously. He then hunkered down and dedicated himself.
Nearly 8 years after his "career change", Mark has become a world-class ambassador of the American Songbook (and an award winning songwriter/band-leader).
