Bio Mark took up guitar at the age of 7, and tried some lessons, but felt he could learn quicker by teaching himself. Played with friends in elementary and then high school for talent shows and the occasional concert. While attending McGill University in 1976 he met up with high school acquaintance and drummer Peter Marunczak with whom along with Peter’s then girlfriend Luba Kowalchyk, helped form the band which eventually took on the name “LUBA.” With the intension of writing original material, the band spent countless hours in Montreal studios recording and refining the band’s sound, which ultimately caught the ear of Capitol Record’s A&R Director Deanne Cameron who signed the band in 1982 to a recording contract with Capitol Records.
