Musician/Pianist from Bali, Indonesia who enjoys playing hammond and singing too. Music is what I am passionate about, besides music I also have interests in fine art, culinary, and design. I love Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop, Rnb, Soul as well as Latin music. Graduated Summa Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music, Boston with dual majors in Jazz Composition and Performance.

I can clearly remember sitting on the piano as a 6 years old kid and not enjoying every single minute of it. My father will not hesitate to keep pushing and reminds me to practice my piano even though I came from a non-musical family. As time goes by, playing piano has become a habit, a routine for me and up to the point where I’m older and can understand things better; I discover jazz and I realize that I’m able to express myself through music like nothing else possibly can do. Being in this place I feel like nothing is impossible. And by saying that I really mean that it is exactly why I’m standing here right now.
 
Regardless the importance of following your own passion and love for whatever it is, there are a lot of things that caused me to fall in love with music more than it was before. Jazz from my point of view is a lot like life. Many things in jazz can always be applied to my everyday life, not just individually but also socially. Jazz has a deeper meaning rather than just simply a style of music. It seems like it’s just another world where anyone can go to and all kinds of people come together. Meeting new people and playing in a same band is like learning to adapt to the community and environment, giving space while playing music is like giving respect to your own creativity and respects others too. I also think that the most important thing is the ability to connect with others and I’m quite sure that music is a really good ‘tool’ for that.
 
I will continue to grow being a ‘never-stop-learning’ musician and I’m looking forward to be able to create music that is truthful and meaningful in the future. I would also love to share my experience, bring joy and lifts people up through my music.

Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a splendid musical mind”, Mark Isaacs has achieved widespread international recognition as a composer and pianist working in both classical music and jazz.
