"Aging rock legend in my mind."

John Laurence is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and singer/songwriter, with a wide range of influences from Heavy Metal to Mahler, Folk to Baroque, with a healthy dose of Blues, Classical and Jazz. Instruments he plays include keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitar, ukulele, Godin Merlin, dulcimer, recorders and whistles, and brass including cornet/trumpet, mellophone and trombone.
  
In 2011 he was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) which had affected him undetected since childhood. Although he has a PhD and has had two successful careers, he has begun to see life with a whole new perspective. He has always been a musician at heart and is making up for lost time with a new career as a musician and composer. His music is  influenced by blues, jazz, folk, classical and rock. Given his eclectic tastes and creativity, it is not surprising that John's music has evolved in to a World Music style. A new EP has just been released, named "Last Song of the Dove".  Feedback on the album has been encouraging, especially from countries such as Canada, USA, Mexico, Japan, Israel, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. John is now producing a full length album "Takahe Toccata" building on the style of the EP and dedicated to the World's endangered birds.

Much of my music is FREE TO DOWNLOAD.
Love this space, wherever it is, and the amazing sounds of humanity. Happy to mix my music with yours, if you have an idea or no idea : ) -- if you would like to remix, remake, redeem any part of anything here, let me know.   ~

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark

A Music Fanatic, inspired Songwriter and Music Producer, enthusiastic Mixer and a Guitarist creating songs for the pure joy of it. I love to include my Wife and Daughter in my Music to capture a beautiful moment; a personal time capsule. Music is an expressive outlet for me and I write from the heart.

Close to my heart is raising awareness of HYPER MOBILITY EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME. 

“Sometimes when you hear hoofbeats, it really is a zebra.”

No two zebras have identical stripes and no two people with Hyper Mobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome are identical. They have different symptoms, different types, and different experiences. 

Please see the link below for further information and awareness about Hyper Mobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome on the Ehlers-Danlos Society website.
