The British singer, songwriter, guitarist Mark Knopfler is also regarded as a record producer & award-winning film score composer with not just 1 specific and splendorous sound, as he has made entry into various genres and styles with bluesy folk, rock, country and Celtic flavors. Mark founded Dire Straits in 1977 with his younger brother David, along with John Illsley & Pick Withers which had a memorable run of 18 years ending in 1995 where he launched his current solo career from 1996 forward, giving this musical veteran a whopping 42 years in the biz and going strong with no signs of slowing down.

Now, at the ripe young age of 72, he is in such phenomenal shape, still sharing and pleasing his fans around the globe as an internationally and critically acclaimed act who is 1 of the most commercially successful artists of all time. This Living Legend and Rock n Roll Hall of Famer, is 1 of the highest awarded performers to date, who is a 3 time Doctor of Music recipient from Newcastle, Leeds and Sunderland Universities, a 3-time BRIT awarded artist who has received an ARPS Sound Fellow and PRS Music Heritage award, as well, is an honored Music Producing Guild recipient alongside being a 4 time Grammy, a Steiger, Edison, and OBE award winner. He has sold well over 120 million albums globally during his in-depth career with Dire Straits, his movie soundtracks, and his solo projects. He is accredited as 1 of the Greatest Guitarists of all time, who has 20 albums between Dire Straits and solo studio albums penned plus dozens of soundtracks under his belt. Brothers In Arms – Dire Straits 1985 album, was a 1st million-selling CD and get this, Mark even has a new brand of Dinosaur named after him ‘Mosia Kasaurus Kropfleri.’ and did you know that Mark also wrote Private Dancer for the superstar Tina Turner! Wow, now that is an impressive resume thus far, as he isn’t anywhere near done yet.
