John Mark's music is heavily influenced from his Cajun background and his upbringing in a diverse community. His Mother is a soulful County/Swamp Pop Singer and Entertainer and the community he was raised in was filled practically door to door with musicians and entertainers from all Genres of music from Traditional Cajun, Zydeco, Rhythm and Blues, Soul, Rock and Roll, Swamp Pop, and Outlaw Country Music. John Mark recorded a 14 song album in 2004 ("Carrying On The Name") of which ten of the songs were written by him. He is working on re-releasing this project.
