MY
name is Mark Clennon and I'm an artist.
NOTHING
brings me more joy than performing and making art!
And everyday I wake up grateful that I have the privilege to do what I love.
I was born in Jamaica and growing up I had a strong desire to express myself, I was in every choir, Every school play, Took piano lessons, dance lessons, Anything I could do to be creative.
To be Honest not much has changed, Im still as active creatively now as when I was a child.
After years of hustling and working behind the scenes in the music industry I finally signed my first record deal in 2016.
I
WAS
SO
EXCITED!
Over time I learned that the music business and the dream and passion I had for music were very different things. When I was younger I used to think that if you work really hard and have talent you can really make things happen. I still believe that to be true but I learned over time that the most important assets an artist can have are money, Power and Clout.
All
Things
I
Don't
Have
But what I do have is drive and a desire to grow and be better everyday so I began a journey not to be rich and famous but to be the best artist I can be and to create something that will bring value to peoples lives.
I decided I would push myself as an artist to continue growing and expanding my creative expression.
My first instrument was the piano
then the recorder
then I began singing
around 12 I started writing songs
in high school I taught myself to play the guitar
after that I started producing my own music
after working in the music industry for many years I decided to return to acting and starred in a movie where my character played the saxophone, I had 3 months to learn before we began filming and now its a key part of my artistry
after that I decided to learn how to play the flute and im still growing
for the next chapter of my growth im returning to my roots and DJ'ing in America you say rapping in Jamaica we say Djing
