Mark

Mark

Mark

Voice, Piano
Mark is a young professional pianist and vocalist. He began performing in his church’s worship services as early as age 12, which inspired him to improve as a pianist, and eventually step into singing as well. Mark studied Applied Voice at Indiana Wesleyan University and studied opera and classical voice under such esteemed vocal educators as Dr. Keith Brautigam, Dr. Tammie Huntingon, and Dr. Lisa Moore. During college, he pivoted into becoming what he calls a “gig pianist”, teaching himself to draw extensive improvisations out of the lead sheets he began playing from at church, eventually touring with IWU’s sponsored worship band, “Redeemed”. 
 
Mark is a passionate believer in the “casual” aspects of music, and believes that EVERYONE should try studying voice or piano for at least a short time in their lives, because who doesn’t want to sing better? He truly believes in empowering students towards making music that they are passionate about.
