"WHAT TASTMAKERS ARE SAYING"

"Mark Tara has a flare for catchy melodic music. A perfect example of the kind of sharp, multicultural, urban pop that is ruling the Canadian music scene".

Billboard Magazine


The title track is written brilliantly and makes you feel happy from the first note. The lyrics here are the truth, crisp as Canadian ale.

Marching to the tune of its own theme song "Different Love" by Mark Tara gets Pride Week off to a colourful start.
Michael B. Davie - Toronto Star


Up-tempo, Dance-Pop track has been relaunched with a more focused campaign behind it.
The Record Magazine


Pride Toronto has chosen an official song this year... "DIFFERENT LOVE" co-written by Mark Tara.
Gordon Bowness - XTRA Magazine


"The song [ Different Love ] is about love in all forms", says Mark. "It's very fitting that this song has been embraced by the Pride committee, whose chosen theme this year is Love."
Fab Magazine


Mark's music is modernly balanced and his vocals are somewhat of a mix between PRINCE and something off a hip Dance record; but mostly Mark shows great promise and chart-bound visions!
Danny Gayle - Hype Magazine


Mark Tara's philosophy is a simple one: Love and believe in yourself. Everything else - including having a Donna Summer song on your own first CD - will follow... By the way, that CD is called DIFFERENT LOVE.
Sebastiano Lionti – CD review from the website www.donnasummertime.com


Mark Tara likes "the idea of being a chameleon." Though his songs are firmly planted within Dance music, his message to LIVE YOUR LIFE [UNCENSORED] is universal.
Excerpt from Christian John Wikane
Interview - Northeastern University


Special thanks go out to the artist Mark Tara, for his foresight to include Donna on his release. I am sure that many people tried to tell him that he would never be able to pull this off, but he did.

Bio

“MARK TARA has a flare for catchy melodic music. A perfect example of the kind of sharp, multicultural, urban pop that is ruling the Canadian music scene.”

Daniel Caudeiron - Contributing Editor
Billboard Magazine

“I remember being part of my school choir in grade four. We were singing Christmas Carols to a disco beat. At the end of the performance, we got a standing ovation! I remember thinking… I like this! Shallow… yes… but what can I say… I was young... Ha Ha Ha!”

Fast-forward some years later; Mark is a Music Major at the first public high school for the performing arts in Canada. The Etobicoke School of The Arts.
“In school I studied Violin, Music, Dance and Music Theatre.”

This multi-racial Canadian artist creates up-tempo dance music with a positive message. Mark’s message is most evident in the chorus of his song “BELIEVE”…

“BELIEVE IN YOU
BELIEVE IN ME
BELIEVE IN ALL
WE CAN BE
WE LIVE IN DAYS OF MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE
BELIEVE IN ME
BELIEVE IN YOU”

Having worked with renowned Canadian music personalities such as LIBERTY SILVER, THE BOOMTANG BOYS, LISA LOUGHEED and PATSY GALLANT Mark’s music holds an air of experience; while at the same time making you want to dance.

With his first album DIFFERENT LOVE released to the world, a national TV commercial on FOX, A&E, TBS Superstation, Showcase and TORONTO 1, Trinidad born Tara is ready to set his sights on his next album titled... “CRUCIFY”.

“DIFFERENT LOVE took me 2 years to complete and it features my favorite singer DONNA SUMMER! I still pinch myself about that one!”

It's just a matter of time before this provocative, thought provoking Canadian artist finds himself on the world stage.

Mark’s songs can be found on such CD compilations as “DANCE HIT INVASION”, “ALL STAR DANCE TOUR” and “DJ NETWORK”.

DIFFERENT LOVE is available through his web site.

“...The momentum keeps on!”
