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.
