A direct descendant of the UK’s innovative and influential electronic music lineage, Model Man (AKA Mark Brandon) embodies the free-spirited culture that emerged with the acid house revolution. Born and raised in Chelmsford, Essex, his influences are broad, yet tied together by a strong desire to share his story and spark emotion in the listener. From his early forays into music, playing piano, to his recent incarnation as Model Man, Mark has always drawn on his eclectic tastes to transmit a range of different feelings.

In his native Chelmsford, Model Man grew up in a Mormon family with a strict religious framework. He learned classical piano from his piano-teacher Mother. By his twenties he’d become enchanted by the allure of rave culture, the antithesis of his early years as a ‘hardcore Christian’. Initially he rejected his rigid upbringing, but, through working on his debut LP, he eventually realised that it would be impossible to completely deny his background while trying to present a realistic portrayal of himself, as a whole. So he began to merge the two parts of himself into one cohesive mesh of traditional, classical tones and melodies spliced with the carnal, visceral energy of rave.
