Bio / Background
James Marks was brought up in a small town in Queens, New York. It wasn't until the dreaded middle school years that he became interested in making music. His close friends had begun listening to punk rock and playing instruments, so James picked up a guitar and started strumming
power chords. He acquired a free drum set and quickly became the drummer of the band, despite his complete lack of experience with sticks. The first band, named Liminal, didn't last long. When the drama of High School hit, James turned to acoustic guitar and emo-esque songwriting.
The new band, named Bleak Prospect, was jam-packed with open D tuning and high notes that James couldn't reach.
Eventually, James began listening to old heroes like Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Big Star and, of course, Burt Bacharach, as well as more contemporary voices like Björk, who receives a thank you on James' first album.
