Mark Haze

Mark Haze is a South African singer/songwriter, performing original rock, soul and blues material. Known for his wide vocal range, Mark’s signature sound of high energy Rock ‘n Roll is guaranteed to have audiences on their feet. His influences range from classic rock legends like Queen, Led Zeppelin, and The Beatles to blues masters, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, and Muddy Waters, all the way through to modern rock artists such as My Chemical Romance, The Used and Halestorm.

With a total of 5 top 10 singles across all major South African radio stations Mark single ‘Wake Up’ went number 1 on the Kia Take 40 SA chart (Kfm and Highveld) and remained on the chart for a record-breaking 23 weeks.

In 2011, Mark was the runner-up in Idols South Africa, which assisted him in securing a record deal with Universal Music SA for the release of “Where Angels Fear to Fly”. Prior to this, Mark won the American Idol Experience at Disney World, Orlando; a condensed version of the hit TV show, which presented the winner with a Golden Ticket for the actual full-length contest. Having to return to SA, Mark was unable to compete in American Idol, but took it as a reason to enter the South African contest.

Having opened for Seether’s Homecoming tour as well as being the official support act for Bon Jovi on his South African tour Mark Haze has firmly cemented himself as one of South Africa’s premiere live rock acts.
