Favourite memory at a gig
One of my all-time favourite performances was at the Breakthrough Music Competition. I brought out my loop station and guitar, and built a song live on stage that the crowd could really get involved in. Layer by layer, the energy grew, and by the time the beat dropped, the whole crowd was in it with me.
The reactions were unforgettable. People were smiling, singing, clapping. The vibe was so joyful and full of heart. It was one of those magical moments where everything just clicked, and honestly, I’d relive that day a hundred times over if I could. It reminded me exactly why I love making music.

It wouldn't be an awards night without Mark's music. For the past two years, he's played and sung at our Swimming WA Awards of Excellence, and we cant wait to have him joining us again next month. His guitar playing creates a warm, magical atmosphere that perfectly sets the tone for the evening. Mark is professional, easy going and brings such a caring energy into everything that he does. Our guests have loved his music so much that they have booked them for their own events. We can't imagine our Awards Night without him - he's become such a special part of the night.
