Mark Navarro
Sound artist, composer, music producer, and audio engineer, Mark Kent Navarro employs his diverse musical skills to craft immersive worlds.
Capitalizing on his background and understanding in electronic, jazz, classical, experimental, ambient, Bossa-nova, hip-hop, R&B, math-rock, post rock, and alternative music, Mark dedicates time and effort to delve into the nuances and intentions of his work.
His dedication to innovation and growth is a consistent theme throughout his artistic journey and life. As a Filipino born in Baltimore City, his narrative unfolds as that of an independent D.I.Y. artist who, through years of experience, mentorship, friendship, trial
and error, survival and perseverance, continues to blur genre boundaries and explore diverse mediums on his creative horizon. His story is a testament to the resilience and creative spirit that defines his unique path. Mark was declared a finalist for the Bakers Artist Awards in 2023 through the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance.
Mark draws inspiration from influential figures such as John Cage, Ryuchi Sakamoto, Allison Schulnik, Omar Rodríguez-López, Moby, Joe Hisaishi, Wilfredo Alicdan, Björk, Aphex Twin, Joan Miró, Don Hertzfeldt, and Brian Eno to name a few.
