Mark Spivey

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. Mark Spivey officially began his creative recording career in mid 1995 with his determination to learn the harmonica. This was followed by a number of other musical instruments including the Sampona, percussion and Keyboard. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Ennio Morricone, The Mission (Original Sound Track from the Film) Enya, Watermark Tony O'Connor, Mariner The musical styles of these albums had a significant influence on my own music. They all capture something in their storytelling and emotion. Each album continues to move and inspire me. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Fields of Violet (Violet's Theme)” This is a personal celebration of the birth of our baby girl and the associated feelings of thankfulness, joy and awe of new life. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When I was just starting out, having my music from my first album picked up for use in a documentary about the Esperance archipelago.
