Having written his first hint of a song in the fifth grade, Mark Roach has seemingly always known he was born to write songs. It wasn't until recently, however, that he recognized a calling to write worship music.
At thirteen, Mark picked up his first guitar and finally put chords to the first melody he'd ever written three years earlier. By the time he graduated high school, he had officially adopted the title singer/songwriter. Four years later, Mark released his first full-length recording entitled The Road to Home--the culmination of his tenure at Millikin University in Decatur, IL.
After Graduating College, Mark headed to Nashville. Still writing primarily secular pop/rock music, the Christian industry in Nashville didn't seem to be a fit, so he headed back to his hometown of St. Louis, MO in '99. Ironically, only months later, Mark accepted what would prove to be a life-changing position at Morning Star Church, a new church start in O'Fallon, where he began writing worship songs as the Music Director and Worship Leader. Mark has written several worship songs now sung in churches across the country, and is currently in his ninth year as Worship Leader at MSC.
Mark’s debut worship project was released on July 24, 2007 with Myrrh Records and has since spawned three top 10 singles, his most recent cracking the top 5 in October of 2008. Seven of Mark's original worship songs have been featured on national and international compilations, including appearances on WOW Next 2007, Absolute Modern Worship 2 [Fervent Records - 2006], SongDISCovery [vol. 53] in November of 2005, SongDISCovery [vol. 61] in April of 2007 and two appearances on Purpose Driven Ministries' SongSeeker project (2004 & 2005.) He has been a featured contributor on www.songdiscovery.com, www.pdworshipcommunity.com and www.worshipsource.com, has led worship and taught at conference across the country and has shared the stage with the likes of Matthew West, Aaron Shust, Building 429, Echoing Angels, and Big Daddy Weave.
