    (7)
    I'm a prolific composer music producer pianist and vocalist with hundreds of pieces of unreleased music not including hours and hours of unreleased recorded piano jams. I've written hundreds of thousands of notes and melodies. Started piano lessons at the age of 7 and started composing and performing my own music at the age of 12 at my piano recitals. Currently I'm mostly making electronic music crossing the styles of baroque classical electronic dance music and technical death metal in my works. However I can write film scores and make other various works on demand for video game streamers or giving my touch on other artists tracks. My favorite scales are aeolian phrygian octatonic and chromatic and I love jamming/improvising with drummers live!! I've been paid to play solo piano live on grand pianos all improvised never the same and never recited because I'm wild! However currently I mainly play my electronic music act out live in NYC area at least 2 times a month and have been performing this act live since 2013 at bars, clubs, venues, festivals, open mics, house parties and even parking lots. My act is a hybrid live act, I have an electronic drum kit frame where I set up several synths other controllers my computer and touch screens to perform live. I've been on a computer since the age of 3 and know my way around computer software and hardware devices. I began composing music in MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) around the age of 16 using a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) called Fruity Loops. I currently still use Fruity Loops now known as FL Studio but also have Bitwig and Ableton and can use all three fluently. Although I can help navigate anyone through any DAW as I know the abstract concepts of music production at a high level. I can even help design custom live set ups and help with coding you're own instruments!!! I have my bachelors in computer science and my main work right now is at IBM in Research and Development where I am a Software Engineer Innovator and Inventor. I have a patent involving Artificial Intelligence and Sound Synthesis and I plan to invent more software advancing the performing arts music and sound. Advancing music is my main passion and I strive to do that in three ways. First by pushing the bounds of music myself with what kind of music I create to inspire others, another way through technology and advancing music technology, and by teaching others like you so that you can go forth and create!

    Marq is a mad creative genius, and any knowledge that he happens to pass onto you will be highly worthwhile. Marq is also fun to work with and very open to your ideas and feedback.

    Mark knows all about music from a-z. I have been teaching myself music for years, and Mark knows right where im at and knew how to help me EQ better, arrange songs better, and helped me focus on my live set up as a performer and an engineer. THANKS MARK!!
