According to Modern Drummer magazine, Mark Guiliana “may well be at the forefront of an exciting new style of drumming.” The 28-year-old New Jersey native’s unique and un-compromised approach to playing the drums has earned him international acclaim as both a leader and a sideman.
In 2004, Mark created HEERNT, his ‘experimental-garage-jazz’ trio based out of New York. The band’s debut record, Locked In A Basement, was released in the spring of 2006 and was met with praise from critics and musicians alike. Legendary drummer Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson) called the record “the most exuberant, dramatic, beautiful, sassy, genre-busting little outing that I've heard since I don't know when.”
As a sideman, Mark’s most notable work has come alongside world-renowned jazz bassist Avishai Cohen. He has been touring with Avishai since 2003 and has appeared on his last six recordings, including a live DVD recorded at the Blue Note in New York City. Mark has also recorded and/or performed with Meshell Ndegeocello, Jazz Mandolin Project, Bilal, Jason Lindner, Bobby McFerrin, James ‘Blood’ Ulmer, Branford Marsalis, and James Williams.
Mark’s current focus is his new band called ‘THING’, which is busy playing around New York and working on a new record.
Mark is a proud endorser of Yamaha drums, Sabian cymbals, and Vic Firth sticks.
