Mark (also known as 'Dodge') was born in Aberdare, Wales but lived most of his life in Swansea. He began playing guitar at the age of 13, after playing various other instruments including piano, flute, oboe, clarinet and violin. He spent countless hours practicing his instrument, along with cassette tapes of his favourite musicians such as Paul Kossoff, Jimmy Page, Pete Townshend, Syd Barret, Brian Jones etc. He became an accomplished guitarist and has played with some well known musicians in the Uk.
In 2004 he moved to Vancouver to study at the University of British Columbia and in November 2004 became friends with singer/songwriter Mikey Manville after meeting at a video store where Manville worked at the time. Their love of music encouraged them to form The Manvils with bassist Greg Buhr and drummer Andy Mac in November 2004.
In May of 2005, The Manvils opened for the Uk based band Stereophonics and following the show he was asked by Kelly Jones to join them as second guitarist for their world tour.
