Mark Guiliana
“What happens when you add hard bop masters Elvin Jones & Art Blakey to a 1980s Roland 808 drum machine, divide the result by J Dilla and multiply to the power of Squarepusher? Answer: Mark Guiliana.” – Time Out London
Hailed by The New York Times as “a drummer around whom a cult of admiration has formed,” Grammy-nominated superstar drummer & composer Mark Guiliana brings an adventurous spirit, eclectic palette, and gift for spontaneous invention to a staggering range of styles. Equally virtuosic playing acoustic jazz, boundary-stretching electronic music, or next-level rock, he’s become a key collaborator with such original sonic thinkers as St. Vincent, Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden), Brad Mehldau, M83, Meshell Ndegeocello, and the late, great David Bowie. He is set to release his first entirely solo album on July 12, 2024 entitled MARK (Edition Records), where he is on full display as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist – performing and layering percussion, piano, synthesizers and more.
