Биография

🎾🥌 🏀 ⚾ 🏈 🎳 🏊🏒 Semi Athletic, a pseudonym for Mark Allan Falk (AKA me), reaches you through the magic of the internet via Prague (CZ), Florence (AL), and Vancouver (BC). I write songs, record them, and play them on a stage once in a while. Thanks for listening to the tunes - you're nothing short of the best. Much love ❤️ Now here's the official bio if you're looking for it... Semi Athletic's specialty comes in the form of impressionistic songwriting paired with tasteful production and guitar riffs, otherwise known as "the tone zone". As a Canadian who grew up in Prague that calls Alabama a third home, his output is a synthesis of time spent digging through record crates around the world and working in Muscle Shoals recording studios. The upcoming album “Try Hard” (May 2023) was self-recorded and produced at Sun Drop Sound. With a refined artistic voice and vision, the album features introspective acoustic songs with twinkling keyboards next to full-out rock songs with playful, tongue-in-cheek lyrics. His music video "Smoke Alarms (Trampoline Dunk Contests) is nostalgic for middle-school garage bands with amps turned to 10 and deny the existential angst of being twenty-something. The debut "Fridays I Wear Silk”, recorded at Portside Sound, features cornerstones of the Shoals' music community. Live performance highlights: opening for John Paul White at The Wise Hall and TV appearance on Televize Seznam.
