ARTIST INFO
From the time Mark Bittler picked out his first notes on the piano at 3 years old, music has never been far from his heart. Mark studied classical piano and organ as well as French horn. He started jazz studies and learned about rock and roll. Mark led his first band at age 14, became a church organist at 15, worked as an intern at a radio station at 15 (and interviewed Ray Charles!) and had his own radio show at 17. Not bad for a teenager!
Through the years, Mark has been attracted to music with soul and passion. From Stravinsky to Zappa, Armstrong to Coltrane, Ella to James Brown, it has always been about the emotional resonance of the music. Mark has traveled the U.S performing in cities both large and small. He spent the last 10 years with one of the West Coast's top funk bands, Bump Kitchen, becoming known as the NW’s premier funk keyboard player! Be it rock, blues, country, jazz or R&B, Mark brings his soul and passion to every project that he is involved with. From classical to funk, composing or performing, Mark's dedication and sense of humor are readily apparent.
