Howdy Folks... Mark Prentice here... Glad you're here!!
I'm a Nashville, TN based Grammy Winning Record Producer (Fairfield Four/Elvis Costello), and an in-demand studio musician, music director, and hit songwriter.
My music career has been an amazing adventure and my versatile and exhaustive music industry resume` includes recording and performance credits with renowned County Artists as well as various Internationally known Pop, R&B, and Rock-n-Roll Artists, including: Elvis Costello, John Fogarty, Desmond Child, The Fairfield Four, Lyle Lovett, BJ Thomas, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Olivia Newton-John, Amy Grant, Vince Gill, Johnny Cash, Don McLean, Crystal Gayle, Kevin Griffin (Better Than Ezra), Frankie Miller, Joe Walsh, Status Quo, Paul Carrack, Jennifer Nettles, Michael McDonald, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Van Zandt, Bruce Hornsby, Felix Cavaliere, The Young Rascals, Charley Pride, Steve Earle, Herb Alpert, Sam Moore, Billy Preston, Kenny Loggins, Ben E. King, Michelle Wright, Jennifer Hanson, John Oates, Pat Boone, Patti Page, Kip Moore, Lady Antebellum, Rodney Atkins, Chuck Wicks, Paulette Carlson, Bruce Cockburn, Holly Williams, Bo Diddley, Mitch Ryder, and many others.
Along the way I co-wrote the Hit-Country-single, “Lipstick,” recorded by Rockie Lynne. The CD single remained at #1 on the SoundScan sales chart for 12 weeks. Additional songwriting credits include cuts with Sara Evans, Susan Ashton, Leroy Parnell, Walt Wilkins, Rockie Lynne, the Raphaels (Stuart Adamson), Kate Wallace, and Cliff Sarde, and many others.
I've toured the world, performed and recorded with a literal who's who of the major Artists of the day. And, as you can imagine, I've learned a few things...
I was an early adopter in the online sessions world and I've recorded on over 30,000 recordings, hundreds of them from my home studio over the last decade.
So, thanks for coming here and if you're willing, take a quick look around.
I'd love to play on your project and you can get in touch with me for that at the "Sessions" tab.
If you're interested in having me produce or production manage your project, check out the "Producer" tab.
And if you're interested in Music Career Counseling, I do that for a very limited number of clients. It's not for everyone, but if you're serious about a career, and have arrived at a certain stage of that career, having me as a coach may be the most valuable thing you can do. You'll find that information on the "Coaching" tab.
Thanks again for stopping by! I hope we get to work together, but whether we do or we don't, I sincerely wish you all the best for your music career!!
