MARK TRUEY TRUEACK
(Vocals, Artistic Direction, Songwriter, Co-Production, UPF Founder)
“Our planet is not happy in so many ways; our climate is constantly changing, religious intolerance leads to conflict, bloodshed, and outright war in an already unstable social system, and our countries misunderstand each other, leading to mistrust and risk of further instability.
As the world and civilisation evolve, conflict appears more and more inevitable and our environment harder to live in as climate change takes its toll. If projects like ours can make a difference and if we can involve our friends and other lovers of music then we will have a better world.”
As co-founder of Unitopia, Mark was integral part of the process, not only as a world class vocalist, innovative songwriter, creative co-producer and morale booster, but as a relentless driving force behind everything that Unitopia has achieved thus far. The passion he injects into his music is endless (as is his sense of humour!) and his knowledge of the music industry and record companies in particular has given Unitopia a wealth of knowledge from which to draw, making the journey forward an exciting one.
“Fall in Love with World” was the first UPF release in 2014, containing over 60min of music that takes the listener on journey of self-discovery. Mark has contributed his vocal talents most to songs performed by The Samurai of Prog, and the compilation albums ‘Decameron II and III (Marco Bernard) and Oliver Rüsing (The Impossible). He is also involved with Alex Grata’s project, ‘Voices of Babylon’ in which a different version of the song Forgive me my Son will be featured than the one on Planetary Overload.
