Experience counts

My extensive experience in both the music and business side of the industry enables me to not only help artists take their music to the next level, but quite often give them some new direction and guidance with their music. I believe in hard work, integrity, always doing right by others, and of course, good music.

  • BeBe Winans
  • John Blackwell (Prince, Justin Timberlake)

  • Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel)
  • Rounders (winner: 2006 CARA Awards)
  • Vocal Spectrum
  • Lifeway
  • Ronnie Brookshire
  • Carolyn Martin
  • Sonic Reality
  • The Judds
  • Danny Gottlieb (Pat Metheny Group)
  • Nick D’ Virgilio (Spock’s Beard)
  • Richard Sterban (The Oak Ridge Boys)
  • Leticia Wolf
  • The Hoppers
  • The Jordanaires
  • Neal Peart (Rush)
  • Dream Makers Music
  • Word Entertainment

Just to name a few.

I am a graduate of Middle Tennessee State University with a BS in Recording Industry Production and Technology, am certified by Digidesign, are a published writer on music technology, and have taught classes on recording technology at schools like Pro Media Training, MTSU, FullSail, SAE, and Berklee.

Feel free to contact me directly to discuss your needs and ideas, I’m always open to meeting new people and building new relationships.

Don’t take my word for it

Here are some kind words that some of my clients have been willing to share about me:

“Mark is a very skilled engineer and his editing skills are top notch. You would be very lucky to have him on your project.”

“Mark understood exactly what we were trying to accomplish, and also quickly grasped the nuances of the barbershop style.

How good is he? Our CD swept the Barbershop category in the 2006 Contemporary A cappella Recording Awards (CARAs), that’s how good!”

Dan Rubin
Baritone, Rounders

“In a time when everyone seems to have digital recording equipment, it is sometimes hard to tell one ‘producer’ from another. That is certainly not the case with Mark Hornsby. What sets him apart from the mass is professionalism. From first meeting, until you receive your completed project, it’s all about the business of doing it as well as possible. Maybe it’s his experience, maybe its his dedication, love of music, or pride in reputation.

I know that when all is said and done, Mark Hornsby is a class act.

I’ve recorded with him myself and don’t hesitate to recommend him to my clients.”

“Mark Hornsby is a total professional. He respects and honors deadlines and has always gone above and beyond to make sure jobs were finished and delivered on time. He has a great ear and is very musical. He would be an asset to any project.”

Phil Naish

“I met Mark with nothing but a few ideas and a couple of original songs and walked out of the studio with a finished product that captured my personality and re-energized my love for music. He helped me produce, record, mix and master my project. For me, Mark is a one stop production shop!”

Kat Bowser

“Mark Hornsby is a great resource in the music business. His expertise in recording, and knowledge of top quality equipment, makes it possible for him to do practically anything you need in music /sound production.”
