studio staff
Mark Pierce - owner, producer & chief engineer
Mark was born in 1973 and raised in East Yorkshire, northern England. His passion for music started at a young age - prefering listening to his dad's vinyl LPs of artists such as Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Dire Straits & Bread than go climbing trees!
Mark has played live in bands and as a solo artist in pubs, clubs, festivals, schools & prisons around the UK. He has tutored guitar, worked on recording session vocals, guitar and keyboards for various artists and is increasingly in demand for his studio engineering & mixing expertise.
Mark’s free 4 song EP ‘MPFree’ was released in 2008 and is available as free MP3 downloads from his website www.markpiercemusic.com. He is currently writing new material for a full studio release.
When you come to record at Stompbox you're guaranteed an experienced engineer who understands things from your side of the fence.
artist comments
"Mark is passionate about helping artists fulfill their potential & develop their own unique sound. He took my songs from a very basic state to a professional work while constantly keeping me involved in every part of the creative recording process - inputting my ideas, discussing each aspect and watching as my songs took shape. Consequently I feel I really own the finished product - which has far surpassed my expectations.
The studio itself has a very homely, personal feel. Mark's a great host and made me feel right at home - which helped me to relax and really enjoy it!"
