Mark Chergosky, a native of Minneapolis, was born in 1953. He began his musical career by taking violin lessons, and he later played the drums in his school band. During the British Invasion, he became enamored with the Beatles, and began playing the bass. His parents encouraged his musical talents, and purchased a Hofner 'Beatle' bass for him. He also became interested in Brazilian music during this time.
After graduating from high school, Mark briefly attended the University of Minnesota as a music major. He studied music theory and music history, but left school after his father passed away. He then took over his family's grocery store.
Eventually, he began playing music professionally. For many years, he toured all over the Midwest with several different rock and lounge bands, playing bass and keyboards. He also became an accomplished songwriter.
After settling down and starting a family, he began pursuing his interest in jazz. He started to play the organ, and worked with many local jazz musicians.
Currently, Mark lives with his family in Saint Paul. In addition to his musical career, he teaches elementary school.
