Starting out by playing with toys or using video game controllers as a child, Mark soon became fascinated with guitars and their sound. It wasn’t too long until his father brought him home his own instrument and he began developing his own technique at a young age.
By laying the guitar on the ground, Mark started with iconic riffs such as ‘Smoke On The Water’, ‘Godzilla’, ‘Paranoid’ and ‘Cocaine’ and played them “till (my) toes bled”. Soon enough, he was writing his own music and playing it around his hometown.
From releasing his very own album, Big Toe, and being nominated for an Emmy in 1998, to attaining success as a performer, speaker and television personality, Mark’s story is one for the history books.
In the documentary below, Ross Harris and Stanley Gonzales explore Mark’s journey and the various struggles he has endured over the years, as well as his many remarkable achievements.
