Mark X is a singer/songwriter originally from Grand Island, New York he returned home after spending three years in Tampa, Florida. He is the lead singer and bassist of the punk rock band Triumverate, and has also had an extended solo career as an acoustic guitarist and vocalist. He graduated from the University of Buffalo with an English degree, and has displayed a keen fascination with both classic poetry and philosophy in his lyrics. Well known for his use of mixed metaphors, and odd cultural references that range from Shakespeare to Spider-man. Also the owner of the label Porno Brat Records. The author of several unpublished meta-fiction fantasy novels. Mark is mostly known for releasing an abundance of material musically, three of his solo records have been made available for free download on the internet. Many speculated that his thirteenth full length solo record(entitled "An Open Letter To My Critics") would be his final acoustic record, however it was announced in early August that a new full length record would be released on the year anniversary of "Critics"(October 23, 2008). On September 4, the album cover was released, and featured the name as Mark Of Champions instead of Mark X and was a mostly orange background as a stark contrast to every other album cover which had been released as entirely black and white.
