Indie Rock from Mark Winters

When Mark Winters first picked up a guitar it was to play a song for his wife on their anniversary, immediately he discovered the joy of connecting with people via music and unknowingly started a new journey that would see him venture out as a solo artist.

Influenced by artists such as John Mayer, Tom Petty and Jason Mraz, his sound offers an uplifting brand of rock music. Starting each composition from poetic foundations, the artist draws on his passion for using poetry to express himself, a gift he learned from his grandmother years ago.

While his recent endeavour has seen him flex his creative flair, he’d previously cultivated a ‘rocket scientist brain’ from earning a degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical Engineering. The self-professed ‘math nerd’ uses his analytical prowess to inspire the way he writes music; taking complex things such as emotions and sonically packaging them in a way that’s relatable and easy to understand.

After recently releasing his sophomore record with Boundary Layer, he brings us the new single lifted from the album with the track “Heartbeat”. Inspired by the surge of adrenaline the artist gets while running or during extreme sports, with “Heartbeat”, Mark Winters lays down an energetic and grooving indie rock sound that channels the style of Lenny Kravitz.
