started to show interest in music from an early age and it was only a matter of time till he started mixing
different records he had been collecting, on a pair of decks he had at the age of 11. His DJ career started
in a small club, on Island of Rab back in 1996. At same time he had his own radio music show
on a local station called Arbassential, where he hosted many local DJ's and producers. As he moved to
Rijeka, he holded residencies in all of Rijeka's most famous clubs. Helped out a lot in development of electronic
music scene
in his town through some very well listened radio shows on Rijeka's local Radio stations. Founded the
first Specialized Record Shop for DJ's in Rijeka called Muzikum Record Store, where he raised lots of upcoming
DJ's providing them with the best music on market.
As a part of BalanceFM project
he proves his constant progression and effort for the dance music scene in Croatia. Mark Ash played on all major dance
music events in Croatia, Slovenia, Italy & Germany: Rabac Summer Festival in Croatia, few major events at Ambasada

- Italy. He has also succeeded to make a good reputation for himself in many clubs, playing along some of the world's most
famous DJ's and Producers ( the list is very long ). His musical style moves from deep jazzy and groovy elements over disco
and funky to techy and proggy house sounds, but as Mark says: " It has to tickle your SOUL ". Mark's passion and respect to
music makes him a DJ to watch out for. He always stands out when he plays, mixing old, new and refreshing records and showing
his ability to make any crowd dance to his sounds. His discography just started to grow, receiving a major support from the
World's DJ scene. The great success of "Girl With A Smile" track in colaboration with Patrick Zigon, put him on charts and
sets of every major DJ on the globe. Watch out, cause next year could be a good jump off ! In his free time he is editing
lots of music, making them to suite his taste and style. Collecting music and movies makes him a real media junkie who's
collection spands over few thousands of various titles. Mark Ash is a name to watch out for in the near future...!
