MARK WHEAWILL - British Artist/DJ/Record Producer/Sound Engineer/Sound & Music Therapist/Mentor
I have over 40 years experience in music and started my Electronic Dance Music career back in 1999 when I had my first official music release on vinyl format on Source Of Gravity Recordings. I went on to produce over 35 records on vinyl on a number of record labels including Baroque and Method Records which was based in Coventry, United Kingdom. Inbetween the years 1999 - 2005, I was very busy with making music and DJ'ing at venues and at house parties. I was hugely successful in terms of output, exposure and recognition, but in 2007 I was declared bankrupt.
Sadly, my music career was curtailed when I ended up in the Mental Health system as an outpatient for a decade. Then, not long after the lockdown a few years ago, I ended up getting sectioned twice under the mental health act. It was another setback, but as always I have a habit of bouncing back from the bottom and the darkness.
I'd had huge success with my Evenflow "Indecisive" record and also Vitality "Skylite" and Source Of Gravity "Perseverance" music releases. Dutch Superstar DJ Armin Van Buuren played my Vitality "Skylite" track on his A State Of Trance radio show. There was also major support from DJ's such as Paul Oakenfold, Sasha and Nick Warren (Way Out West). I also achieved Tune of the Month in the Progressive House/Trance music reviews section in IDJ Magazine in 2003. I was really going places and seemed very much on course to becoming a Superstar DJ too myself.
Listening to music and playing it constantly is what helped me with severe depression during hard and difficult times and to bounce back from mental health and physical health too (although I still suffer with very bad pain in my spine due to two bulging discs and osteoarthritis) and on top of that I have Type 2 Diabetes) and get back into making and playing music again as it is my passion in life. My friend Jo Worrell recently suggested to me in May 2025 to become a Music Therapist as such because of my World Class Uplifting DJ Sets and mixes.
