 Singing and playing guitar since the age of nine, Mark Mallett is a Canadian singer/songwriter & Catholic evangelist. Since leaving his career as a successful television journalist over seven years ago, Mark has been touring extensively throughout North America and abroad giving parish missions, nights of adoration, concerts and speaking and ministering at retreats, conferences and Catholic schools. He recently had the privilege of singing at the Vatican and presenting his music to Pope Benedict XVI, as well as appearing on EWTN''s Life on the Rock.

"Music has always been my first love," says Mark. "When I was going to university, the highlight of my week was sitting in the echoey stairwell of our historic residence, and playing my songs into the evening ­ instead of doing homework. Music has been a distraction my whole life! When I should be working, I'm singing. When I should be sleeping, I'm writing. The music pursues me, and it's hard not to respond..."

Mark has picked up three national awards for his recordings, and his third album, a contemporary & powerful Rosary CD. "Through Her Eyes, a Journey to Jesus", has drawn much acclaim from Catholics all over the world. In the spring of 2005, Mark released "Song for Karol", a beautiful tribute song to Pope John Paul II and also released his long-awaited Eucharistic Worship CD "Let the Lord Know" in the summer of 2005. Mark's most recent album is The Divine Mercy Chaplet, recorded with Father Don Calloway and released on Divine Mercy Sunday 2007.

Mark and his wife Lea have seven beautiful children together (with the eighth on the way in the fall!) and make their home in Western Canada.
