Mark Agnesi was born in Wadsworth , OH in October of 1982.  He was given his first guitar at the age of six by his father and immediately took to learning everything he could about the instrument.  After only one year of lessons, Mark decided to learn on his own.  He learned the rock and roll styling of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Perry and Keith Richards and the blues styling of Stevie Ray Vaughn, Albert King, BB King, and Albert Collins. 

  By age ten, Mark was writing and recording his own songs, and by age twelve, was signed to independent label Fortunate Records and released his first full length album.  Mark’s local reputation began to grow throughout his teenage years and by age eighteen left his home in Ohio to make it as a studio ace in Nashville . 

  Mark attended Belmont University majoring in Music Business, which allowed him to focus both on learning how the industry works as well as keeping his chops up for the studio.  After four years in Nashville , Mark grew bored of studio sessions.  Having ten chances to nail a take just wasn’t as exhilarating
