AFL MUSIC-THE CAUSE/Large myspace graphic Photobucket Apple iTunes Mark Luna is a Los Angeles based singer/songwriter. He was born and raised in central Texas and has been a musician all his life. A passionate and unforgettable performer, he has brought audiences around the world to their feet, receiving ovations in landmark venues such as The Grand Ol Opry in Nashville, The Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, The Point Theatre in Dublin and Royal Albert Hall in London, where he opened for and performed with fellow Texan and songwriter hero Willie Nelson. A former A&M Records recording artist, Mark has worked with the likes of Faith Hill, Roberta Flack, studio legend Rosemary Butler (James Taylor, Jackson Browne), and composer/producer Patrick Leonard (Madonna, Elton John), just to name a few. As a songwriter, Mark spent 9 years as a staff songwriter for a major independent publishing company and enjoyed success both on the radio charts and in TV/Film. His song "Never Saw Blue Like That" has been recorded numerous times by an array of artists, including folk/pop chanteuse Shawn Colvin, who sang it for the Julia Roberts/Richard Gere smash film (and soundtrack) RUNAWAY BRIDE. Her version also appeared in the TV series' DAWSON'S CREEK (soundtrack) and PARTY OF FIVE. Additionally, "Blue' has been recorded by Broadway star Melissa Errico (title track), International singer Hayley Westenra and actress/singer Jennifer Love Hewitt as well as indie artists Katie Reider, Cathy Heller and Lee Lessack. Heller also recorded Mark's song "Angel On Your Shoulder" for the off-beat romantic comedy LOVE ON THE SIDE, starring Marla Sokoloff and Jennifer Tilley. Mark co-wrote "When A Woman Loves A Man", a Billboard Top 10 duet recorded by Lee Roy Parnell and Trisha Yearwood. Other songwriting credits include title tracks by Indie/Folk artists Hugh Moffatt (Ghosts of the Music), Richard Ferreira (Somewhereville) and most recently, Debbie Hennessey (Good As Gone). Mark is a talented actor as well. He originated the role of Olympic hero and Native American football legend Jim Thorpe, in Marcus Hummon's stage musical/drama WARRIOR. He also appeared numerous times on AMERICAN DREAMS (NBC) as well as an FX's cutting edge drama THE SHIELD, where he worked with legendary writer/director David Mamet. His voice can be heard opposite Martin Short in the children's animated feature BARBIE: THE PRINCESS AND THE PAUPER. In 2004, he performed to rave reviews opposite veteran film star Val Kilmer in the LA stage production of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and in 2006, alongside Tony Award winners Cleavant Derricks and Melba Moore in the 1st National Tour of the Broadway hit BKLYN, with American Idol's Dianna Degarmo in the starring role. He was also in the Broadway cast of RING OF FIRE (Johnny Cash). Other notable NYC performances include concerts at Rockwood Music Hall, Symphony Space Theatre and the historic club The Bitter End. Mark has since returned to the 'City of Angels' and is performing live again in the Southern California area. He's also preparing for a new CD and is the subject of a documentary film, currently in production.

Soulful voice and inspired songs…works for me! (:

I was particularly fond of, “Alive”. Confessional, redemptive lyrics. Infectious chorus! LOVED how the melody flipped up to the G note---over the F min and A flat chords creating a momentary sorrowful dissonance. Wonderful! My sweet spot was the C# maj 7 (“find the words…”). Somewhat reminiscent of 70’s Kenny Loggins. High praise my friend!

Thanks for finding me. I’m pleased to make your acquaintance, Mark!
