who we are

MARK RODRIGUEZ

Hello, I'm Mark. Composer, Orchestrator, 'Pianoman.'  I've been involved in music my entire life. No really, I was privileged to be born into a family of artists and musicians. My childhood involved training with an extended family and friends who are world class musicians, one of which was an accomplished classical & baroque chamber violinist known to me as mom.  At 4 years old, I began classical piano studies, and in the years to follow I gravitated towards learning other styles of music, branching out into composition, theory & orchestration.  A lifetime of training culminated in the launch of my musical career when I was in High School.  I wrote an orchestral arrangement of Billy Joel's Scenes From An Italian Restaurant which caught the attention of a music label A&R representative.

I've worked in music with artists and on films professionally for about 12 years and counting.  The latter half as a part of 52nd Street Productions, founded with none other than Rob Wasilauski, which has allowed us to work on a wide range of musical genres and collaborate with creative and imaginative artists, musicians, creative film directors and producers.  In 2012 I was honored to be nominated as Best Music Director by the NAACP Theater Image Awards for my work on "Rockin' In The Ages."

 I look forward to helping your vision come to life musically, and hope to collaborate soon!

Mark
