Bio

Mark Lloyd aka Marksman started rhyming at 13. At this age he recorded his first song, over a beat off the Deathrow Records website, onto cassette tape. He still has it. He wrote his first song at age 7 called “You gotta believe in yourself”. He did. His first performance was freestyling in front of breakdancers at a hip hop workshop he attended at 14 years of age. He sucked. He has played shows in Singapore and rocked topic freestyles, in the same vein as “Supernatural”, in the midwest of the USA.

He won the Scribble Jam freestyle battle WA heats in 06.
He won the Australian poetry slam WA heat in 08 and came runner up nationally.

Aside from the solo thing, he fronts a band called Dome Sunset, a four piece. They released debut EP “Joy” in 2010.

Mark’s debut album “The bridges in Spain” is due for release this year. With the bulk of production coming from fellow community member Wisdom 2th, expect something special with this release.

Long time no talk ey

Thursday March 15th, 2012

So mixing and mastering is almost finished for “the bridges in spain”, and we’re in the process of organising a launch date right now. Sibalance is doing an amazing job in getting the tracks sounding insanely ill and I can’t wait to finally unload this beast on you all.


One of the tracks off the release delves into the harsh realities of the sexual slavery industry that is rife all over Asia and many other parts of the world. The track was written after a trip to Phuket in 2008, it’s called “Suit and Thai” and features the incredible Ofa Benness, aka, Odette Mercy. We will be taking a team to Thailand in June to shoot a clip for this track and in doing so hopefully we  can shed some light on the situation, even if it’s only enough for a few to see. As it stands, I think any awareness about this issue is a good thing.



More info soon….

peace
