“Mark and I are like night and day” says James. “Really – if you look at it, we’re totally opposite in almost every way, but we spend all our time together and somehow, I dunno – it works.” James is pretty much an indoors kind of guy; a digital media major who loves art and cooking, he works at the university part-time as a graphic designer and runs a web-site design company on the side. Mark, on the other hand, is a pure jock. After playing Division I lacrosse his first few years at UCF, he now partakes in every sport he can fit into his schedule. His latest craze is rock climbing, which for some reason translates itself into rappelling off of the side of the university parking garage in the early hours of the morning. “I just like being active”, he claims.
When it comes to their music, both share vocal and guitar duties, but whereas Mark sees his strength in lead vocals over guitar, James revels in his electric guitar and feels his strength lies there. Paradoxically, Mark feels much more comfortable singing with his guitar in his hands, and James’s husky voice shares lead vocals nicely with Mark’s clear, poignant tone. Both write, but while James looks for an intense emotion – usually about girls – to spur his creativity, Mark just needs the perfect first line: “I’ll sit around for long periods of time just trying to come up with the perfect first line – from there, I’m golden. It’s just gotta grab you”.
Mark & James do a pretty good job of “grabbing” their audience’s attention. Full of charisma and charm, Mark & James have been gigging around Central Florida for the past two semesters with a band they’ve put together to back them. “Performing is by far my favorite thing to do”, says Mark. “It’s the best feeling in the world to have a fan tell me how a song has impacted them”. Though currently focusing on recording more material in the studio, the two 22-year-old college seniors are continuing to perform out at local clubs and bars. “To really be an artist you have to create your song with everything you have, record it to the best of your abilities, and then give it all away to an audience”, says James. “We are having the time of our lives doing what we love, but we have nothing but good things to look forward to, as long as we can continue recording and performing, sharing our experiences and relating to our fans through music”.

@@guntervonhagen1485 Hey mate, thanks for your response. I had to look up what CJD was... that is rough to say the least. If you don't have a bible get one asap. Start with the gospels (matthew, mark, luke and John). If we are right with God we no longer have to fear death. I will be praying for you daily.

I played this album non stop when I was at home with two beautiful children and realised I was trapped in a toxic marriage it saw me through the hardest of times .
@Skindoggiedog
If being trapped in a 'toxic' marriage is a price you must pay to raise kids in a two-parent household, then you do that.
You're the one who picked the man.
You make the best of it until those kids are raised.
@AWhileHanlin
@@Skindoggiedog Nonsense advice. All proper research shows children are better of away from tension and conflict or lovelessness.
@chrislong8559
What does research say about single mother households? When it comes to criminals and predators? I know do you?
