Introducing theholeofmark, a London-based singer-songwriter whose journey is as unique as his name. Recently diagnosed with ADHD, Mark’s discovery has deeply influenced not only his personal life but also his music. This newfound understanding fuels his creative process, infusing his tracks with a raw intensity, authenticity, and energy that reflect his lived experiences.

Mark is no stranger to the spotlight. He has graced some of the most prestigious stages, including performing at the iconic Royal Albert Hall and supporting legendary artist Tori Amos on her European tour. Over the years, he has worked with top names in the music industry such as Rock Mafia, Duke Dumont, and RedOne. His powerful vocals were featured on Kraak and Smaak’s track “All I Want Is You,” which was nominated for Best Indie Dance Track at the International Dance Music Awards. Additionally, Mark co-wrote Robin Bengtsson’s double-platinum single “Constellation Prize,” which soared to #2 in the Swedish charts.

Now, as an independent artist, Mark is reintroducing himself to the world under the moniker theholeofmark. His latest project features "Then and Now" versions of his songs, offering listeners a unique perspective on his evolution as a musician. These tracks are available on platforms like Spotify and iTunes.

The centerpiece of Mark’s current work is his upcoming single, "Show Your Heart," set for release on October 24th, 2024. This song has been in development for 14 years and promises to deliver a vulnerable yet infectious sound, blending deeply personal themes with an undeniable groove. “Show Your Heart” is more than just a single; it’s tied to a larger project—a five-part documentary series about ADHD called Don’t Be Silly. The first part of the documentary “Mark’s Message of Intent” has already been released on YouTube (see below), and the second part “The Interviews” will be inspired by the themes of his music. So for "Show Your Heart," all falling interviews will explores the concept of “ADHD Masking”, delving into how people with ADHD often hide their true selves to fit into societal norms.

Mark’s music has always been unapologetically personal, and his latest work is no exception. His candid approach to his ADHD diagnosis and its impact on his life and artistry is reflected in his songs. Industry veterans have taken notice, with figures like Tim Rice praising him for having "echoes of the great Ray Davies," Alex Zane calling his work "epic," and RedOne declaring, "The voice is wow!"

With his bold tattoos, eccentric personality, and unyielding commitment to self-expression, theholeofmark is a dynamic force in the music world. His work stands out not just for its musicality but for its vulnerability, addressing complex themes like identity and mental health. His journey as an independent artist is one of rediscovery, and his upcoming releases promise to peel back even more layers of his artistry and personal experience.
