Youtube channel of actor and singer Mark Hildreth

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 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 Marks 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.

It was around this time that Marks life suddenly changed. One of his closest friends died suddenly of a drug overdose. With this momentous event, Mark discovered a new passion for an ideology behind his music, and the one musician who would offer him a musical sensibility to aspire toward - Stevie Wonder. "What really gets me about Stevie is his perspective as a songwriter. He always writes from a standpoint of building love, compassion and integrity in the world, and that is what I want to do with music."

As an actor with over 80 credits to his name, Mark is most well known for his roles as Reginald Pole in the Showtime TV series The Tudors, and Pirates Of The Carribean 3. He has also lent his voice to many productions, most notably Gundam Wing, X-Men, and Hot Wheels.

With hundreds of stage appearances under his belt, Mark Hildreth is on a mission to leave the world a better place than he found it through music and acting. He splits his time between Los Angeles and Vancouver, Canada. "I know that people can change, that the world can change, because I changed. And I want to share that."

Complex State Of Attachment, and its first singles Magic Spell and Siddhartha, can be heard at Marks website, www.mark-hildreth.com, and his Myspace page, www.myspace.com/mhildreth.
