​"With a racing heart, I inhaled a deep breath, held it for a few moments before slamming down the laptop lid for the final time: somehow I knew I would never return"

​

In November 2014 MARKX had reached breaking point: waking up to the cold, stark realisation that he had been living someone else's life in a corporate job he did not want. And just like that he turned his back on a high flying, handsomely paid job forever. The next thing he found himself a budding entrepreneur, writing songs with the songwriters behind major artists such as Beyoncè, JLO, Backstreet Boys and many more.

 

In 2019 he released 4 EP's 'Water', 'Air', 'Earth' & 'Fire' which resulted in a #14 iTunes chart placement and, #3, #5 & #21 in Scottish New Music Global Chart.

​

His debut album 'Laments' was released in October 2019 and received positive feedback from head of BBC Radio 2/ 6 Music's Jeff Smith, as well as receiving BBC Introducing's Track Of The Day on three occasions.

​

He is advocate for mental health awareness and makes regular radio appearances and visits schools and colleges, using his platform to help others in the creative industries.

​

Work has now commenced on the follow up to 2019's album 'Laments' with new music expected in early 2020.
