With two born-deaf grandparents, Mark Hildreth was an unlikely musical prodigy. The eldest son of British parents, Mark was exposed as a child to some of the great musical legends of the sixties and seventies - Bob Seger, Elton John, Billy Joel, and John Lennon, and taught himself to sing and play piano at the age of 10.
After playing just two gigs, he was invited to showcase at Sony/BMG in New York, and signed a demo deal with Warne Livesey, the prodigious producer of Midnight Oil, Holly McNarland, The The, 54-40, and The Mathew Good Band. Having sold over 15 million records in his career to that point, Mr. Livesey knew that Mark's first album, Complex State Of Attachment, an instantly hummable collection of pop/R&B songs rife with heart, honesty and groove, would be a success.
Complex State Of Attachment, and it's first singles Magic Spell and Siddhartha, can be heard at Mark's website, www.mark-hildreth.com, and his Myspace page, www.myspace.com/mhildreth.
