Mark's music is modernly balanced and his vocals are somewhat of a mix between PRINCE and something off a hip Dance record; but mostly Mark shows great promise and chart-bound visions!

Mark Tara's philosophy is a simple one: Love and believe in yourself. Everything else - including having a Donna Summer song on your own first CD - will follow... By the way, that CD is called DIFFERENT LOVE.
