Mark Lopez grew up listening to top 40 radio from the fifties and sixties. At the age of fourteen, he was given his first guitar and learned Beatles and Paul Simon songs from chord books. Bored with his own accompaniment, he dreamed of a day when he could play and record all the parts of an arrangement himself. Unfortunately, multitrack recorders for the general public were still fifteen years away. In the meantime, he continued to listen to anything that caught his fancy and could listen to pie

Dave’s background includes having material of his synched on television shows and spots on HBO, TBS, MTV and others, with other songs of his being represented by renowned publishers (Scotty Turner, Woodrich Publishing Co.,Tennessee Valley Music), and used in performances by other artists.
In addition to writing both the words and music on many songs, Dave enjoys collaboraborating with other songwriters.
