Win Mark Masri autographed CD: LA VOCE

Original songs just for you

In the music business, overnight success can sometimes take a decade or two. In the case of Torontonian Mark Masri, this is true. Performing since the age of five, he has been building his career through writing music for film, television and other singers. Now, one of the hardest working men in the business is about to get his big break. North America audiences have been discovering that Masri’s soulful tenor is one of the finest voices of his generation; and coupled with his tall, dark and handsome appeal, he is poised for international stardom.

In addition to his incomparable vocals, Mark is a piano player, songwriter and producer.

He co-wrote all but one of the original songs on his 2010 release LA VOCE (Green Hill/EMI). For the rest of the repertoire, he chose a virtuosic array of songs in six languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic. As the son of a Lebanese father and Anglo Saxon mother, and with his ease of performing this array of international songs, he exemplifies the new face of Canada-multiculturalism at its best.

About Salvatore Principe, artist

Salvatore’s vibrant collections of both mixed media and hearts on canvas evoke sentiments of complexity and beauty that appeal to so many – his international acclaim and celebrity following support this. His Hearts are works of compassion and love, while his abstracts maintain a chic and funky sensibility.

Salvatore Principe was born in 1959 of Italian heritage and raised in Manhattan, where the brutal collides with the beautiful. Salvatore found himself inspired by juxstaposition and diversity, while influenced by the pop culture of the 70′s. For the past twenty-five years as an artist Salvatore’s quest has not wavered: A steadfast dedication to enriching peoples lives through his deeply abounding, expressive and affecting art. His work reflects a depth of emotion blind to racial division or language barrier. It is about the spirit of life, celebrated through human emotion. In kind, Salvatore is continually donating pieces for charitable auction, raising in excess of $300,000 in the past five years alone. With his art always current and influencing what’s chic and modern, Salvatore Principe’s talent has graced the walls of numerous New York City cultural relevant institutions, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman and The Trump Towers.
