Mark
fell in love with drums
when he was eight years
old and by the age of eighteen
was recognized by the Canadian
Jazz Festival as
the top drummer in Canada
for his age group. He's
never looked back, having
enjoyed a busy professional
career of touring, and recording
ever since.
Upon becoming a full-time
professional musician Mark
toured with a Motown Revue
backing many top R&B
groups such as the Chi-Lites
and The Crystals
in the hottest clubs in
the country. In 1989 he
formed his current group,
LMT Connection
with Leroy Emmanuel and
John Irvine.
As a session drummer and
producer, he has performed
on over 70 albums with such
diverse artists as Canadian
rocker Edwin,
Epic Records alternative
hip-hopper Kazzer,
and European Jazz favourite
Phe Cullen
sharing drum duties with
Vinnie Colaiuta.
Marks film and TV work has
been quite diverse; from
drumming on episodes of
"the Young and
the Restless"
to writing and producing
projects for Miramax
films, PBS
and a 2 Kids TV shows -
Maralee Dawn and
Friends and the
Hugglers.
This past year Mark has
received a 2004
Accolade Award
and a 2004 Telly
Award in recognition
for the original music featured
in the Hugglers DVD.
Mark endorses Sabian
cymbals and Ahead
drumsticks.

 One
of the most exciting bass
players out of Canada is
Ottawa native John Irvine.
Having played professionally
since the age of twelve,
his credits include working
for Capitol
and RCA Records
with such diverse artists
as Ronnie Hawkins
and Liberty Silver.
John is an exciting showman
and his approach to bass
is simply amazing.
John proudly endorses Hartke
bass systems and Brubaker
basses.
