Mark Howard
Mark Howard (born June 8, 1964 in Manchester, England) is a Canadian record producer, engineer, and mixer.He has worked with many artists including Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams, Willie Nelson, Marianne Faithful, Emmylou Harris, U2, Peter Gabriel, R.E.M. and The Neville Brothers.
Mark came to Geejam Studios last year in March 2009 and returned because he loved the Jamaican vibe and wanted me to play drums on the record that he was producing. The artiste that we produced is Rocco Deluca, i will tell you more aboutn him in a another post. It was a great time, I really enjoyed the session. We had fun. I played drums on all the sessions, i also played bass on all the sessions. I just had fun while i was doing it.
It was a stringent 8 days of sessions. I engineered also. Mark is a great producer. We had conversations and bonded. I even found out that he worked with Lucky Dube. I rate Lucky Dube, I think he is really a great artiste. RIP.
All the time working with Mark it does a mountain of good for me. I get to see how real music is produced, and this man, has a mountain of knowledge. Sometimes i would be there and playing the drums, he allow me to incorporate my ideas into the record as well as he provided his feedback. In the sessions, he brought his vintage mics and we used them, they were so kewl.
I’d do it over and over again, to work with Mark. As soon as the record is out, or as soon as i have snippets available, i will provide them to you guys. Thanks for Passing by, imma share some pics. God bless.
