Mark James Wood, President/CEO of MWE | Mark Wood Entertainment, Inc. originally established himself as a versatile and dynamic performer fifty-four years ago. As a professional musician, he has played over three hundred and twenty-five shows per year for more than 35 of those years, in venues of all types across the country.

A respected entertainment industry professional from San Diego saw Mark performing solo in late 1994 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Newport Beach.  Mark was playing acoustic guitar, grand piano and singing (without a drum machine) and had over a hundred people on the dance floor. Sam asked Mark if he had ever performed for a corporate event and the answer was, "No!" A new door was opened and within a couple of weeks, Mark was playing solo at an IBM event for 5,000 attendees. The performance was met with an incredible response and thus opened a whole new avenue for Mark's talents.

At the suggestion of friends and other professionals in the industry, Mark created multi-camera, broadcast quality video demos for four of his bands, covering Rock, Country, a Jimmy Buffett tribute and a piano/vocal duet. These promotional tools enabled Mark to establish himself in many different corporate, concert and private event markets, worldwide. This, combined with Mark's lifelong association with various networks of musicians, his production background in theater, concerts and corporate events has created the perfect company.

It was from these humble beginnings that MWE has grown into the full-service entertainment and production provider it is today. ​It is simple … with MWE in charge of your dream event, the sky's the limit!
