In 2021, Mark was a co-writer on the Nas (feat. Blxst) single, "Brunch on Sundays" for the Grammy nominated rap album, King's Disease II. Evitts also recorded on Joey + Rory's RIAA certified Gold selling, Grammy winning album, "Hymns",[9] as well as working with producers Sam Hollander and Josh Edmondson (songwriter) on ten episodes of NBC's SMASH, including the Emmy nominated original song,[10] "I Heard Your Voice In A Dream".
Mark co-wrote additional music with film composer Alex Geringas on the Netflix Animation feature film Arlo the Alligator Boy. He has been an arranger, musician and music producer on several hit television shows, including The Bachelor, Nashville, Blood & Oil, the BBC documentary, "Love In A Day",[11] Discovering Lucy Angel,[12] SVT's award winner documentary series Jills veranda, as well as films such as Summer Forever and Finding Your Feet.
In addition to his original compositions and arranging, Mark was also in the trio, St. Alban consisting of Mark, Peter McVeigh of Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Andy Dunlop (guitarist for Travis) of Glasgow, Scotland.[13] Their self-titled debut album was BBC Radio's Album of the Week.[14]
