Mark Bacino

Mark Bacino is an American singer-songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and writer.

Overview

Born and raised in New York City, Bacino is a graduate of St. John's University. While attending college, Bacino played in various bands and formed a production partnership with friend and audio engineer, Anthony Erice. Via this partnership, the duo produced and recorded a variety of local talent in their home-spun, basement studio.

Eventually Bacino set out as a solo artist; a move which yielded three self-released efforts, the last of which, 1997's "Pop Job" EP, earned him a deal with American, independent, record label Parasol Records. In late 1998, Parasol issued Bacino's official debut, "Pop Job…the long player!," augmenting the original EP with 8 new Bacino penned and recorded power-pop tracks. In the years that followed, Bacino promoted the release with his live band, becoming a regular at downtown NYC clubs such as "The Living Room" and sharing bills with the likes of such artists as The Little Willies (featuring Norah Jones) and Madeleine Peyroux.
