The Health Hunters：The Health Hunter's Artist Pick of the Week. Week 2: MARK HILDRETH
The Health Hunter's Artist Pick of the Week. Week 2: MARK HILDRETH
With an immediate presence that is calm yet energizing, intense yet easy, grounded yet free… this is the excitement that fills a room when Mark Hildreth takes the stage.
With two born-deaf grandparents, Mark Hildreth was an unlikely musical prodigy. The eldest son of British parents, Mark was exposed as a child to some of the great musical legends of the sixties and seventies – Bob Seger, Elton John, Billy Joel, and John Lennon, and taught himself to sing and play piano at the age of 10.
It was around this time that Mark’s life suddenly changed. One of his closest friends died suddenly of a drug overdose. With this momentous event, Mark discovered a new passion for an ideology behind his music, and the one musician who would offer him a musical sensibility to aspire toward – Stevie Wonder. “What really gets me about Stevie is his perspective as a songwriter. He always writes from a standpoint of building love, compassion and integrity in the world, and that is what I want to do with music.”
The winner of the 2006 Singer Songwriter Awards and the Billboard World Song Contest, and with hundreds of stage appearances under his belt, Mark Hildreth’s music goes beyond soulful melody and inspiring lyrics. His record is an experience, a journey we can all somehow relate to. He is on a mission, through music, to leave the world a better place than he found it. Mark Hildreth has a perspective and an emotional depth that is rare in this world, and it only takes one meeting to see it. “I know that people can change, that the world can change, because I changed. And I want to share that.”
Mark is also an actor and can be seen in the Showtime television series 'The Tudors' and the ABC drama 'V'.
Complex State Of Attachment, and it’s first singles Magic Spell and Siddhartha, can be heard at Mark’s website, http://www.mark-hildreth.c
