DJ Mark King was born in Nicaragua and was brought to the United States when he was 4 years old.  He was raised in Paterson, New Jersey and at the age of 11 was introduced to music when he took up piano lessons.  While attending Don Bosco Technical High School, Mark studied various angles of technology which steered him to his first passion: Visual Arts.

During the 90's Mark King experienced the best that nightclubs had to offer.  From late-nights at the Limelight to weekend parties at Twilo, he listened to sets of House Music from New York City DJs.  Soon enough DJ Mark King was inspired to purchase a used pair of “Technic's 1200s” and a Vestax DJ Mixer.  After shopping at 100's of record stores in the tri-state area he compiled a top-notch record collection that would reflect his personal taste and style.

One morning at 1:30AM a unique mixing style influenced club-goers at The System nightclub. A true passion for House Music was brought to the public while DJ Mark King played his first set.  Since then Mark King has played in and out of the NYC nightlife scene.  His past experience and sets at The China Club and Ohm brought him to clubs like Lot 61 and Pink Elephant.
