Overview
Born and raised in New York City, Bacino is a graduate of St. John's University (New York) . While attending college, Bacino played in various bands and formed a production partnership with a friend (engineer, Anthony Erice)see Erice bio at - http://www.anthonyerice.com producing/recording local talent in their home-spun, basement studio.cited in bio on Bacino's official site - http://www.popjob.com/copy.bio.html
Eventually Bacino set out as a solo artist with three self-released efforts to his credit, the last of which, 1997's "Pop Job" EP, earned him a deal with American independent record label Parasol Records . In late 1998 Parasol issued Bacino's official debut, "Pop Job…the long player!", augmenting the original EP with 8 new Bacino penned/recorded power pop tracks.see official Parasol Records site - http://www.parasol.com/artists/mark-bacino/pop-job-...the-long-player/ In the years to follow Bacino promoted the release with his live band, becoming a regular at downtown NYC clubs such as " The Living Room " and sharing bills with the likes of such artists asThe Little Willies (featuring Norah Jones) and Madeleine Peyroux .see official Living Room site - http://www.livingroomny.com/artist/mark-bacino
Early 2003 brought additional live performances and the US/Japanese release of Bacino's second album, "The Million Dollar Milkshake" (Parasol/Nippon Crown); This effort found Bacino marrying varied arrangements to his formally guitar-centric sound.see official Parasol Records site - http://www.parasol.com/artists/mark-bacino/the-million-dollar-milkshake/ Bacino also took to the television airwaves in '03 to promote "Milkshake" via a comedic commercial spot which faithfully mirrored country singer Slim Whitman’s infamous TV ad from the early 1980s.see official Mark Bacino YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=rPAoyohVIPA
In 2004, a partnership (now amicably dissolved) with JDMI Management (Tony Visconti/Hugh Padgham) encouraged Bacino to once again revisit the role of producer. With the formation of "The Queens English", a new production company/studio, Bacino found himself producing various artists and collaborating with fellow writer/producers Peter Zizzo (Avril Lavigne/Vanessa Carlton) and Marc Swersky (Hilary Duff) .see official Queens English site - http://www.thequeensenglish.com
As a producer, Bacino continues to remain active composing for television and film in addition to his work for other artists.see Bacino's official discography page - http://www.thequeensenglish.com/MBDiscography2.htm
In the spring of 2010 Bacino's third album, "Queens English", was released on the (part-Bacino owned/ Redeye Distribution|Redeye distributed) DreamCrush Music label.see official DreamCrush Music site - http://www.dreamcrushmusic.com Described by All Music Guide as an album that "proves it's possible to introduce actual maturity into pop with no adverse effects", "Queens English" marks Bacino's move away from the carefree, bubblegum leanings of his previous efforts toward a more personal and reflective pop sound.citing All Music Guide "Queens English" album review - Allmusic|class=album|id=r1767035|pure_url=yes
