About

Mark’s violin versatility abides in soulful authenticity. His virtuosic playing is highlighted in this genre-crossing performance catalogue which features some of his wildly explorative unique compositions, improvisation and collaborations with his many projects of talented musicians & is highlighted in his work with fusion band Rogue Chimp, variety of jazz combos and world percussionist Jacob Cole; the drummer of Rogue Chimp and a renowned Handpan master performer and composer. Mark Woodyatt and his friends life experience and truth translate into sound and visionary ideas throughout many of these recordings. The music is here for you to freely explore and we hope you enjoy listening! As the first jazz violinist ever to attend the Eastman School of Music, and as an award-winning classical-crossover violinist and keyboardist, Mark Woodyatt continued to perfect his proficiency and abilities to convey emotion and joy soulfully and authentically on many instruments. He shines on acoustic and electric 4, 5 and 6-string violins, and is considered to be one of the great living creative masters of string-improvisation. Woodyatt’s abilities as a multi-instrumental performer allow for him to take center stage as a soloist and bandleader, as well as a seasoned sideman, supporting the many groups he’s called to perform with. Mark’s musical abilities keep him in high demand, with a full-time workflow as a performing artist, producer, arranger, composer, and sound healer. He enjoys the company of his beautiful partner Lily, who is as much a part of the music as anything under the sun. His influences range from Bach to Chick Corea Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock and Jascha Heifetz, to name a few. "Music is the universal language of love. I am deeply grateful for all of you listeners and supporters, and especially, Divine Source Creator for the inspiration, blessings and experience which continue to fuel my creativity and happiness.”

Sincerely, Mark Woodyatt
