Introducing theholeofmark, birth name Mark Hole.

When you have a name like mine, in actuaL fact “Mark Alastair Christopher Hole” you learn to love it quickly. I’ve heard it all before, you can imagine what it was like at school, of course A Hole featured, hey hole, mucus hole, my father is called Max Hole so that's pretty cool, but even he was called “Mole” at school. Honestly, it never really bothered me, and because of that fact most people just loose interest and call me Mark Hole. The only time that annoyed me more than any other was when Dulcie and Francesca repeatedly would sing to me. Mark fell in the hole. Mark fell in the hole. Mark fell in the hole. Mark fell in the hole. For weeks….I would shout at them “it's not even good” but their persistence, haunts me to this day, and so what is my email? Markfellinthehole@gmail.com (it would nice to hear from you)

When I grew up into the real world, I realised very quickly that I should get rid of “Alastair Christopher” in the middle, mainly because databases only have room for one name and so when you give both and they can't have both they take the first one and then I actually would get letters in the post saying Mark A Hole. My brother Jamie also gets the same problem, James Anthony Frazer Hole… J.A.F.HOLE lol. I digress, the point is I've gone by the name Mark Hole. But when coming to what to call myself, as an artist, I couldn't help but go back to the initials M.A.C.H. So basically, speed of sound HOLE!!! Being a singer song writer I of course thought of using that name, but there were too many Mac Daddy’s out there and so originally, to throw you a curve ball, I was going to call myself SINGAWAREWOLF… I know, it was a song on “F-Sharp” and for a moment I was gonna go for it but my producer Kevin Poree quickly emailed all his friends to ask them what they thought of the name, and so I released “F-Sharp” as Mark Hole, my name.

The only problem, as I started my career, was that my music didn’t match my personality. The music was serious, me, not so much. So when people listened to my record, they'd be like “oh I really like that” and then they’d come and see me live and be like, what? And vice versa, people that would see me live would be like, “oh my God, this guy is so funny”, but then they’d go and listen to my music and be like, what?!

I think it's safe to say that everyone became confused. I continued writing my songs and not releasing them and started writing with pop artists and pop producers. I started collecting millions of different sounds. None of them matching with each other and then I became confused. Then, when my father got ill, I got ill, and sort of just gave up, I guess. The industry had well and truly, swallowed me, Hole.

Many years passed, many more than I intended, but ultimately I was very depressed. The drugs and alcohol didn’t help and things were not looking good, but…

Since 2020 I have been on a journey, 6 times I’ve tried to quit falling back every time, trying all types of therapy, inculding, EMDR, psilocybin, COLD, and I got my ADHD diagnosis a few years ago, so now use dextroamphetamine, all of it helped… till now, lucky number 7, I am happy to tell you, Hole is dry, 108 days and counting, alcohol free… BOOM. I find it easy now. What it came down to was this, mind set… if don’t want to really do it, you won't. All the other times I tried 90 days I would never actually make the 90days falling a few days short because well… cause if you quit, with mind set on doing again, it’s all you can think about, making yourself a prisoner, and what do prisoners do? They wanna break free… So changed my mind. To, I would just prefer… I just prefer an “alcohol free life style” and all the happiness it brings me… don't know why that simple change of mind set mad all the difference….so now I might call my own child Alca, Hole… when and if I ever have one.

But the point is, after a hole life of people pleasing, not being myself and drugs and alcohol, I thought that the only name I could choose was THEHOLEOFMARK, because I wanna be me, all the time, it just feels right, so that’s the name, and this is who I am.

So what’s next, well I put up, “f-sharp”, “always follow your heart” and “people change” and have tattoos to match, plus “Memory Hole” because “The Seed”, my old band, are my roots. But now it’s all about the tattoo I.O.U. that I have on my body but the album was never made. How do we get there? You’ll find out. First Up, lots of videos, and “IOU - DIFFERENT HOLE” is the next album. That I’m putting into my Patreon if you wanna hear it before release. £5 pounds a month, like buying me a coffee, help me fly, Alcohole, and Drug Free… smiley face.x
