For all my degrees and certifications, I learned more about what's important in life from raising my daughter and almost dying a few times. Spend 9 months in and out of comas as your life is collapsing all around and you'll come to realize what really matters in life.

Now, I am doing what I love.

💙MarkoftheMusic💙
We are many, we are one.

By Thanksgiving 2024, we should have 5 albums and a single out on the digital music platforms in more than 17 genres and fusions, topical by the album title.
💙LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP💙
💙BITS OF LIFE💙
💙 ALL HALLOWS' EVE💙
SINGLE: 💙MIND YOUR OWN BODY!💙
AND releasing THANKSGIVING WEEK:
💙ILLUMINATIONS💙
💙FUNCAPADES💙
That will be a total of 81 songs on those albums, and 6 songs are featured in music lyric videos on our YOUTUBE channel @markofthemusic as we work on building our expanding library. I stay busy writing our lyrics (many with assistance from my adult daughter) and composing in being genes and creating the music and orchestrations. I record basic versions. Then our group plays, and depending on who offers the best vocal version, sometimes I revise lyrics and music genres and modify the orchestrations.

We are busy creating more music and aligning the lyrics for our songs for the digital music platforms. Try the music on streaming services and buy only what you love on iTunes or Amazon, or just keep listening on the streaming services if you prefer. YouTube Music and Spotify post our music distributions faster than the other services, so if our new albums aren't in Pandora, Tidal , iTunes, Amazon, or car music services and other services for U.S. Thanksgiving, please accept my apologies. We create our music to share stories of real life either directly or in allegories, and for the first time in satirical comic style on 💙FUNCAPADES💙.
Meanwhile, I literally wanted to honor the memory of our lost friend who was taken away far too young at age 36, KAREN J. BRANT, class of '78 and one of my best friends in Junior and Senior High in Paramus after meeting in orchestra and band. I wrote and composed the songs on 💙ALL HALLOWS' EVE💙 primarily in blues genres as she loved the blues. She played the flute, piano, and keyboards, was a great vocalist, and even hosted a blues music program on TV. And I still miss her. I miss most of my old friends, as we had an odd clique since I hung with people younger and older all the time because I was always the mail that stuck up and caused trouble. How many other students can get suspended in 4th grade and skip 7th?
Now most of my old friends got married and most moved away, married, divorced, remarried, whatever their life situation. Not certain how many others ever looked back but it's nice to find this website and maybe one day I'll hear from old friends once again!

May you all enjoy a marvelous Thanksgiving and holiday season!

I missed highschool graduation. I spent my junior and senior years of highschool outside Paramus highschool, and was actually overseas during my senior year. But I officially graduated from Paramus and I attended many colleges and specialty education programs for degrees and certifications. College and University life began with an AAS from BBC in Paramus that required 4 years as I took plenty of extra classes in multiple disciplines. But 9 classes in one semester while working might have been pushing it too much as I lost my 4.0GPA. I still graduated cum laude with a 3.62GPA and then kept earning degrees and certifications to educate myself and offer the best services I could for clients.
