Mark Andrew Ridsdale on SoundBetter

I provide great harmony, hooky melodies with killer emotional lyrics finished with clever yet sublime production with 30+ years of songwriting, music production and toplining. Give me a shout.

I've worked in some of the biggest studios in the world, have recently completed an Elite Mentorship Programme at the Songwriting Academy (TSA) and am an active member of the Guild of International Songwriters & Composers (GISC).

I'm an English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who tries to express my own life experiences through lyrical reflection and musical truth.

I predominately work under the self-funded brand ‘Ministry of Defiance’ where my work can be listened to on the major streaming & download sites.

My post-punk & rock musicality will have you bouncing, and you’ll instinctively tap your foot to earth-shattering bombastic live drum and funky bass rhythms. Combined with huge layered rock guitar & awesome power riffs I'm likely to level any small English country village!

In contrast my gentle introspective vocal tone and often poignant lyric, will connect with you emotionally and may leave you confronting your own demons.

I'd love to work with you so let's get going!
