Mark Alain launches solo album

MANILA, Philippines - You’ve probably heard his song on the radio. Meet Mark Alain, the crooner who brings his self-titled album to the airwaves via the carrier single Maghihintay.

Mark had actually recorded the song independently when Sony Music decided to take him under its wing and sign him up for a solo record — an experience which Mark describes as akin to “winning the lottery jackpot.”

Looking up to the likes of Michael Jackson and James Ingram as his musical idols, Mark hopes to leave his own footprint in the music industry and make the most of his “lottery jackpot” by creating ballads worth remembering.

Mark’s style uses hints of pop to spice up romantic tracks, such as Sa Piling Ko, Loving You, Isang Araw and Ika’y Mapapasaakin.

The former vocalist of the band Frio, Mark continues to collaborate with his old bandmates Raz Itum and Tristan Climaco, who wrote some of the songs in the album.

Mark Alain, the album, is now out in CDs under Sony Music.
