Originally from Brooklyn, NYC, Mark began his music career at the Institute of Audio Research (IAR) in New York City in 1972. At the young age of 16, Mark was commuting into Manhattan at night, learning the inside ropes of making records and recording up & coming basement bands. After graduating from IAR and high school in the same year, Mark was drawn to the Brit sound and was off to London, England, where he soon arrived on the doorsteps of AIR Studios, one of the world's most renowned recording facilities, owned by Sir George Martin. "I just flew over and started walking the streets of London looking for a job, stopping in every studio that I took off the back of my favorite albums," he remembers. Mark is the founder, Chairman and visionary behind AMG and our associated companies. He has over 40 years of entertainment industry experience and his credits include (but are not limited to): Joan Jett, Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, New Edition, Deep Purple, Duran Duran, Alisha, Billy Idol, Boy George and more.
