A History of DJ "Peace"
 |
Nearly two decades of Musical Adventure™ |
| Mark was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, where he developed a love for music by discovering his family's various music collections. Mark spent hours listening and learning about music ranging from Perry Como to The Beatles. He eventually started his own music library which reached over one thousand albums by his early teens. |
|
Mark formed Double DJ Music Services at age sixteen with his twin brother Jon. Starting at high school dances, word of mouth led Double DJ to weddings, anniversaries and private parties that required music or an MC. Mark moved to Pasadena, California, in 1984 to study acting, dance and voice at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Mark remained an avid record collector and began to get involved in local bands as singer and songwriter. |
 |
 |
Mark set sail on Holland America Cruise Lines as a Disc Jockey and cruise staff member in 1988. His responsibilities included entertaining passengers seven nights a week in the nightclub and hosting various events. His next career move found Mark in Studio City, California, where he started Awesome Entertainment DJ Service while working for Black Angus Funbars. Since 1988, Mark has also worked for Royal Cruise Lines, Princess Cruise Lines and Norwegian Cruise Lines in the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii and South America. In addition, Mark has entertained at many fine Los Angeles area establishments. |
| Mark surprised two hundred of his peers at the 1997 American Disc Jockey Awards by shaving his head onstage and becoming "Peace!!" (The disc jockey formerly known as Mark Thomas). The "peace symbol" originally appeared in promotional materials to parody The Artist Formerly Known as Prince. |
