"When I am . . . traveling in a carriage,
or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot
sleep; it is on such occasions that ideas flow best and most abundantly."

Biography
Producer
and Songwriter Marc Mozart has worked with and for
artists like Sean "P.Diddy" Combs, Eiffel
65, Bro'Sis,
No Angels and many others - he has produced and written records for
every major label in the world releasing records in all
major markets.
Since the year 2000 every record he has produced entered
the Top 10 Charts of the release country.
Shortly after Marc
left high school he signed his first major
record deal in 1993 with Sony Music Germany (which led
to his first Club-Hit "Love
Transmission" - a record that has been released in the US,
UK and 20 more territories).
Being the producer and one half of the R&B duo ZED 1994 brought
him a summerhit in Greece with the track "Groovy Little Thing".
More remixes and productions followed, including club hits with
acts like Odyssey, Jesse Lee Davis, Zed and Morphosis. Only a couple
weeks after
he had his first major label release, Polygram Germany offered
him a worldwide co-publishing deal that helped him to further develope
his own production company and infrastructure.
In 1996 he started the Boyband Sensation, who's debut single was
tragically overshadowed by the death of one of the band members.
1997 brought him a huge club-hit with the track "Everyone".
The track made its way through the club-underground and was finally
licensed by Sony.
1998 Album "Clubtronic" (Sony) with single/EP release "Brothers
In E"
1999 Marc starts working on a concept called "global
online music production in the 21st century"
2000 Marc includes the software-concepts of the
californian company Rocket Network into his online-concept; Rocket
Network, a company
started by Will Henshall (who had a world-hit with his Band London
Beat "I've Been Thinking About You") and financed by
Paul Allen (of Microsoft) had developed a system that enabled
producers to simultanously work on the same project in different
studios
around
the world through use of Internet Connections.
The system had it's
debut on a major label production when Marc used it for a production
with Peach & Eiffel 65.
In the summer of 2000 Marc send his concept paper of
a team-oriented "online
record label" to Thomas Middelhoff, who then ran
the group of Bertelsmann Companies. Middelhoff, who at that time
tried and failed entering the Online
Music Market by buying Napster, had never answered.
But Marc got some very positive Feedback from another big entrepreneur
in the music world: Sean "P.Diddy" Combs' Label
Bad Boy Entertainment invited Marc to fly over to Manhatten.
Marc did a couple of remixes and productions for Bad Boy, including
a remix for P.Diddy's
Girlband Dream ("He
Loves U Not" - #
3 US Billboard Single Charts). Marc had also been offered
an oppurtunity to test his Producer Networking Concept in a Creativ
Camp at Park Avenue that
was financed
by Handprint Entertainment/Benny Medina (at
that time Jennifer
Lopez' manager) and Global Talent from the UK.
The TV series POPSTARS (Germany) brought Marc back to
Germany in December 2001; just before the members
of Popstars-Band Bro'sis became
superstars by selling 1.2 Mio Singles with their
debut-single "I
Believe", Marc produced their tracks "Walkin' With
You" and "Peace
Of Soul".
2002 became a big year for Bro'Sis and Marc Mozart.
Almost every second month brought a new Top 10 record for that dream-team.
January 2002: # 1 Germany (Bro'Sis Album Never Forget/Where You Come
From)
February 2002: # 3 Germany (Bro'Sis Single Do You/Peace Of Soul)
April 2002: # 7 Germany (Bro'Sis Single "Heaven Must Be Missing
An Angel/Too Good To Be True")
October 2002: # 3 Single "Hot Temptation/In The Cradle"
In November 2002, after more than 500.000
sold Albums and Multi Platinum-Awards Universal Music
released the "Winter Edition" of "Never Forget/Where
You Come From", which again introduced three previously unreleased
Bro'Sis-tracks produced by Marc. Bro'Sis receives the prestigious
German Bambi
Award for "Best
Newcomer". They will finally sell close to 2 Mio. records in
Germany, Austria and Switzerland during the year 2002.
On top of that, in the same year, Marc had found the time to produce the Swiss
Girlband Tears,
who then became the most successful newcomer in Switzerland.
Their Album "En
Rouge" hit the Top 10 and received a Gold Award in
Switzerland.
The year 2003 brought more success for the Marc Mozart/Bro'Sis-collaboration:
the hit-single "Oh No", produced and written by
Marc, reaches #7
on the german single charts, the following album once again enters
the Top 10
in Germany.
Later in the year Universal released a special box-set called "Bro'Sis
- the ultimate collection" that
included all of Marc's hits with Bro'Sis and a DVD with the hit-singles
including the "making of Oh No".
In October 2003, Marc splits up from his management futurehit.com to make new
plans for his producer career.
2004 - Recent months saw Marc Mozart teaming up with UK-based
songwriter Steven Foster and one of the UKs leading businessmen and
record-label owner, multi-millionaire Bob Patmore. The London-based
team
Mozart-Patmore-Foster has already started to
produce and co-write tracks for Liberty X and other high profile artists.
They are also developing and producing artists signed to the label Better
The Devil which is owned by hitmaker-legend Mike Stock and Bob
Patmore.
