About the Artist
Hailing from Chicago Mark Justin-Paul Hood is working tirelessly to create his own unique sound of music. At just 2 years old, it was clear that he had immense talent. As a child Mark was an actor, dancer, and musician. Raised in the church as his father is a pastor ,he always sang in the choir and played the Organ/Keyboard.Friends and family often joked about his raspy singing voice calling him “Frog Voice”, never knowing that would be his signature singing style. Mark considers his branch of RNB “Good Music”. Mark’s leading musical influences are: Chris Brown, John Legend, Jaime Foxx, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Musiq, Tank, Jazmine Sullivan, Kim Burrell, Smokie Norful, Ryan Leslie, and Michael Jackson. He is a natural performer, when he graces the stage you can’t help but to have all eyes on him as his rich vocals and profound lyrics serenade you.
