Mark Z80

Mark Z80 had never written a lick of music, although he's been a huge music fan since the 1960s. He always wanted to actively do something in the field, but he didn't know what. He searched for his role for decades, and regretted not starting younger.

Serendipity finally hit in the form of the pandemic. Mark, and his wife, Lorri were looking for a new venture, so they started a YouTube channel. This led to becoming dissatisfied with the same stock music everyone else used, so Lorri pointed out a MIDI controller she saw online, thinking Mark may want to try writing some background music.

He pulled the trigger in late May, 2021, and the first result was released on November 2nd. It just came pouring out. It must have been bottled up for decades. He has now released 4 LPs and 1 EP. Check out his latest album, "Stateless": https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/markz80/stateless

Mark Z80's 5th album, and the first with lyrics, "Inner Voice," will be released on May 27, 2023.
