MARK DOLIN, A Biography

Mark Dolin is a singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist. Discovering the saxophone as a child put music at the forefront of Markâs life. This new found enthusiasm evoked both emotion and inspiration, and progressed into actual songwriting in the 1990âs. The songwriting became the poetic lure that breathed life into his music. Markâs gift with the saxophone rouses great passion, but the real power is in his writing. He recently completed his debut CD, âLookinâ At Tomorrowâ. The title is derived from the song âYouâll See the Sun Againâ. This song illustrates the concept of keeping a positive attitude following a bad relationship. âThe Parkinâ Lot Hangâ, a funky horn-driven song is about his carefree days in high school. The album also offers a couple of rock selections in, âYour Dayâs Cominââ, and âDonât Ever Stop Nowâ. âBaby Donât You Get Itâ and âTake Me Awayâ will take you away with smooth R & B rhythms, and both allude to lovinâ the one youâre with.

Mark received a B.A. in Music Performance from WV Wesleyan University, and then relocated to Boston to pursue the dream. There he attended the renowned Berklee School of Music. After college Mark played with a popular cover band called âSearch Partyâ, covering Paul Simon, Buster Poindexter, The Neville Brothers and UB40. The band also showcased as contestants on the hit TV show, "Star Searchâ, and released a CD entitled âDays of Magic.â In the early '90s Mark played sax and keys for a phenomenal Boston band called âEye2Eyeâ, where he wrote several songs for their second and third CDâs. The band took home âBest R&B Bandâ at the Boston Music Awards for three consecutive years! The group traveled to Europe, L.A. and New England, playing in numerous large halls and venues.

In 2001, Mark moved from Boston to Phoenix, and met Emilio Castillo, the leader of the legendary soul band âTower of Powerâ. They have been great friends and songwriting buddies ever since. In addition to co-writing songs that may end up on âTower of Powerâsâ upcoming CD, Emilio contributed a great deal to the songs for Markâs CD âLookinâ At Tomorrowâ. âT.O.P.â has always blown him away, so it was a real treat for Mark to include some of Towerâs band members on his first CD, and he is more than thrilled with the final results.
