Mark Paul (US)
I play a variety of acoustic/country/rock music. My style is officially named (by myself) "Rocoustry." Yea I'm gonna have to say that that is a copyrighted phrase of my own.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

1. "Keep Me Going Strong" - #10 on the Country Charts; #5 on the General Country sub charts. (Released Oct. 25, 2005)
*2. "Jump" - #1 on the Country charts; #1 on the General Country sub charts. (Released May 14, 2006)
-Note: My first #1 hit song! Hit #1 on May 26th!
*Still on the charts.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I used to lead worship in my youth group for 2 years. It was tons of fun and a really good experience.
Your musical influences
Country music has brought me to where I am today. I used to listen to a lot of Christian music growing up like Steven Curtis Chapman. Now I'm pretty much into everything country and that is where I draw most of my influence back too.
What equipment do you use?
Guitar.
Anything else?
I frickin' love hockey! So psyched its back! Also football's right up there too!
