Mark Gormley is a singer and songwriter from Pensacola, Florida who wrote and recorded songs in 1977 which were not released until 2009. He is known for his soulful voice and redefining the power stance.
Having decided to give up pursuing a career as a musician, Gormley didn't release his music to the public until his first music video was filmed in 2006. Gormley was given a platform when his music videos appeared on The Uncharted Zone, a weekly public-access television music show that plays original and cover videos by local artists. The Uncharted Zone is shown on the Blab Television cable station and is based in the Gulf Coast of Florida. Gormley has since recorded a number of music videos for the show.
The low-budget music videos are produced by Phil Thomas Katt, a local musician and former radio DJ. The videos are characterised by their frequent use of green screen effects, local scenery and, quite often, comedic or dramatic story lines. Katt runs The Uncharted Zone with his co-host and longtime friend Tommy Robinetti. The two can be found introducing each video with quirky commentary and anecdotes about each featured artist.
In addition to the television broadcast, The Uncharted Zone began posting videos on YouTube in 2007. These videos gained popularity during 2009. In a 2010 interview, Phil Thomas Katt explained: “The videos had been on YouTube for a while, and then, last year, things really took off.” Thanks to these YouTube videos, Katt became a cult icon to a growing group of fans and fellow musicians, and Gormley was propelled to internet stardom.
If “intense” was a musical genre, Mark Gormley would be its leader with his ferocious mustache.
He has forever changed the way we listen and visualize music with his songs "Without You" and "Beginnings". Unfortunately, he is relatively unknown to the general public. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
