- At Mark's primary school, his
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- head teacher also led the
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- choir at the parish church and
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- that's where Mark first
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- realised his talent for singing.
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- His first stage appearance
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- was in a musical soon after:
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- "It was a very small affair.
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- There were only about 32
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- people in my class and we
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- put it on as a class for all the
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- other classes." Mark was also
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- inspired by the first album he
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- ever got, Michael Jackson's
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- Bad and the film Grease. "I
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- basically started singing
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- because I used to love the
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- film Grease," says Mark. "I
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- got a video of it off a cousin
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- and I used to watch it 25
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- times a day, morning, noon
- --- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
- and night."
