Mini bio
Finding his crowd.
Born in London, Mark moved to New York as a child. The city’s hip-hop scene and late-night parties gave him a place to belong. He learned his craft DJing through the 1990s, digging for records and building sets long before he became known as a producer.
From the booth to the studio.
His debut album, Here Comes the Fuzz, arrived in 2003. Producing Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black in 2006 became a turning point. His 2007 covers album Version brought their take on “Valerie” to listeners, alongside collaborations with other singers.
Songs that travel.
“Uptown Funk” with Bruno Mars gave Mark his first US number-one single. He later co-wrote “Shallow” for A Star Is Born, sharing its Oscar with Lady Gaga, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt. For Barbie, he executive-produced the soundtrack album and composed the score with Wyatt.
Returning to the beginning.
Night People looks back at the New York clubs and people who shaped him. His recent work also includes “Suzanne” with RAYE, a songwriting credit on Miley Cyrus’s “Dream as One” and another score with Andrew Wyatt for Greta Gerwig’s Narnia.
