| Mark Spiro is an
iconic American Songwriter. He is an established award winning
producer, recording artist, and accomplished musician, with
a career that spans over two decades. Among his many accomplishments
are 45 gold and platinum records, and six solo albums. His
songs, and his productions have been represented on records
that have sold over 100 million records, world-wide. Born
in Seattle, Mark moved to Hollywood where he met Jack White,
an extremely successful and acclaimed German producer who
was making his impact in the American music market with
his productions of Laura Branigan, Stevie Woods, Anne Murray,
David Hasselhoff and more. He immediately recognized Mark's
enormous talent and brought him in as his general co-producer.
In a span of three years, Jack cut more than 100 of Spiro's
songs on his various American and German artists. It was
at this time that Mark met German writer/Producer, Harold
Faltermeyer, best known for his song "Axel F"
from the film, "Beverly Hills Cop" and the Theme
from "Top Gun". Faltermeyer was a huge fan of
Mark's writing and production skills and asked Mark to write
a song for a new film, "Top Gun". Mark wrote the
incredible, "Mighty Wings" (recorded by Cheap
Trick), a film song classic. Developing a reputation in
the film industry Mark wrote songs for such films as, "True
Romance ("In Dreams" recorded by John Waite);
"Selena" ("Only Love" recorded by Selena)
and "Music From Another Room" ("Day After
Day" recorded by Julian Lennon). Mark's songs have
also been featured in several Television series such as
"One Tree Hill","Marker" and "Fame".
He is most recognized as one of the leading melodic rock
songwriters in the United States, with songs recorded by
such classic artists as Heart, Cheap Trick, Giant, Bad English,
John Waite, Kansas, Reo Speedwagon, Winger, Mike Reno (LoverBoy),
Julian Lennon. In addition he has written for multi platinum
country artist, Lila McCann, and Latin Artists, Luis Miguel
and Emmanuel. Although he is best known for his melodic
rock style, it is evident that Mark Spiro has the ability
and talent to write for any style and genre of music. It
was in Germany that Mark recorded and released his first
solo album "In Stereo" in 1986. Mark was signed
to Interscope Records by Jimmy Iovine, as a solo artist,
shortly thereafter. Mark's second solo album, "Care
Of My Soul" was released in Japan, Australia and in
Scandinavia in 1994; a unique pop/rock album with Mark's
special trademark of haunting melodies, creatively imaginative
lyrics and outstanding vocals. 1996 saw the release of "Now
Is Then, Then Is Now" on Westcoast Records which was
a perfect melodic rock record that received unanimous acclaim
in the European rock press for being one of the absolute
finest releases that year. It ended up winning the UK magazines
Frontiers award for 'best singer/songwriter album'. Mark
Spiro's next two albums, "Devotion" and "The
Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of" were released on the
German label MTM Music. His most recent albums are "King
of Crows" (2003), and "Mighty Blue Ocean"
(2005). With the release of his current album "It's A Beautiful Life", it is evident that Mark epitomizes the best in American songwriting, production and with his intoxicating vocals, Mark Spiro proves that he has only just begun. |
