Mark Wilson

Mark Wilson is a British engineer and solo artist whose work is associated with new age, ambient and meditative music. In 2005, he releases his debut solo recordings, The Endless Elevator Tour EP, a set of pieces built around varied arrangements and his distinctive vocal style. The EP centres on socially overlooked issues and their effect on personal experience, and it receives praise for his songwriting, originality and lyric writing.

After a winter and spring of performances, Wilson returns to Ottawa for a show at the National Arts Centre in April 2006, where he receives CBC’s Galaxie Rising Star Award. As college radio play for the EP grows, he performs with his backing band, The Last Dinosaur, and continues to attract attention.
