FOUNDERS

MARK GREENBERG (Managing Director) has over 15 years of hands on experience in the entertainment industry. He combines talents from numerous artistic disciplines. He is a creative force who has produced a remarkable catalog of artistic works/recordings, television productions, stage performances, film and television appearances.

Mark's career was rooted early on. At the age 14, he started to play drums. Thanks to round the clock practice and the unwavering support of his parents, Virginia and Avrom "Hank" Greenberg, he was quickly a sought after musical talent performing with the CT Regional & All State Bands and then with the McDonald's All American Marching & Jazz Honors Bands. Inspired by those experiences, and the privilege of playing alongside some world acclaimed musicians, he decided to make performing his career. Committed to his craft, he packed up his drums, confidence and passion, and moved to Boston to study music at the world renowned Berklee College of Music.

While in Boston at Berklee, Mark worked with some of the finest talent in the industry and was soon recognized by The National Endowment for the Arts with three separate Jazz Fellowship Grants, a full Scholarship to Berklee and other awards from Gospel and Jazz organizations. Mark gained significant exposure in the industry and performed with the Walt Disney All American College Bands for two summers. At college, he relentlessly worked to refine his interactive and improvisational approach to performing through intense study with world renowned teachers Ed Soph, Alan Dawson, Gary Chaffee, Ian Froman & Joe Hunt.

After graduating from Berklee, Mark vaulted onto the music scene as an international performer, drummer and producer. His broad talent base took him around the globe, enabling him to work with an array of legendary artists ranging the spectrum of styles from rock to jazz, blues to funk, and even some classical. He has shared the stage and/or recorded with Dickey Betts & Great Southern (The Allman Brothers Band), The Dave Matthews Band, Roomful Of Blues, Ronnie Earl, Bob Weir & Ratdog, Jimmy McGriff, Lee Roy Parnell, Billy Bob Thorton, Moe., Tongue n' Groove (Deep Banana Blackout), Roy Hargrove, The Doobie Brothers, The Charlie Daniels Band, Larry Coryell, Joss Stone, Bill Simms, Pimp The Cat, The Dana Fuchs Band, and many others. His own band Pimp the Cat (comprised of former Great Southern Band members) is signed to the Japanese label Keni International.

Mark's a natural on stage, whether performing in a stadium in front of 80,000 fans in South America or a packed house at the legendary Bitter End in New York City. He can hold the listeners ear and the viewer’s eye, a combination that did not go overlooked by agents who saw his natural foray into modeling and acting.

Armed with undeniable charisma – smoldering good looks -- and a highly adaptable style , Mark almost immediately, landed several diverse roles as an actor alongside such notables as Brooke Shields in "Lipstick Jungle", Sitcom (Feb 2008), Clive Owen in "The International", Action Movie (Fall 2008), "Conviction" Drama (2007) and "The Ninja Burglar" Short Comedy (2008).
