Mark V's career as a DJ/Producer has changed his life forever.

Mark started DJing at the age of 12 mixing at local house parties and by the age of 14 he had already established himself as a club and mix show DJ. At 96.7 the vibe Mark V. made the connection with LA based producer, DJ Juanito, who had the greatest impact on his career. Working alongside Juantio as an intern Mark learned the basics behind the music business. Gradually Mark earned the opportunity to take advantage of Juanito's vast array of connections within the music business and found himself mixing his way into residencies at influential clubs such as Sound Factory (LA), the arena and Florentine Gardens (Hollwood). One night in particular, Mark V. had the opportunity to open up for the legendary David Morales. After David Morales finished his set, mark and him had a brief conversation that would eventually give Mark the confidence to follow his life long dream as a producer.

In the begining solo producer Mark V. learned about music through the skills of other well known music makers such as Rudy Rude Dog, DJ Juanito and E.F.X. After releasing, "Rudy Rude Dog-Mark V. Experience," an instand club anthem, and producing remixes for Jean and Lina Santiago (Groove Nation/Universal), Mark hooked up with his hometown DJ partner, Poogie Bear, and an all star team was born.

Mark V. and Poogie Bear, influenced by their own love of music and the hard Chicago sound created a new hybrid form of house. Their uncanny talent for producing, took underground music to a whole new level globally. They utilized innovative hard hitting bass sounds and crisp original percussion sets to create over 70 records, out worldwide on labels like; Rotterdam tekno (mid-town dist), Groove Nation, Greedy, Interhit, UC Music, IHR, Jasper Stone, Caffeine Records, D-Boy Records (Italy), DIKI (Belgium), Fieldz (Brazil) just to name a few.

The credibility that the Mark V and Poogie Bear sound earned, opened Mark's doors once again to allow him to work on even more influential projects with other prominent producers including grammy nominee Richard Humpty Vission, DJ Paul Estak (Rotterdam), and DJ Irene (P.I.M.P Project/Tommy Boy). In addition, Mark V. and Poogie Bear Records have been licensed worldwide. Their huge success from the musical art form they gave birth to, developed into an increasing demand for Mark V. to tour worldwide. To date, Mark V. has mixed nationwide at clubs/events from New York to Las Vegas, and globally from Holland to Brazil.

At this time, Mark continues to tour the globe playing at select venues, and when he is not DJing across the country he spends his days pouring out creativity in the studio. You can hear some of his latest releases on DJ Monk's (Of Rabbit In The Moon) Newest Label Halluccin-8 Records.
