Welcome to this episode! I’m thrilled to introduce, Dr. Mark Deeks – speaker, teacher, and performer with an incredible background spanning over 25 years in the music industry. And, a Heavy Metal aficionado, of course.
Mark has built a diverse and fascinating career, from delivering a TedX talk on the mental health benefits of heavy metal, to his choir work with BBC’s Gareth Malone. He’s also conducted the Royal Northern Sinfonia, led workplace-based musical projects focused on staff wellbeing, and even musical directed for Faye Tozer of Steps.
Mark’s versatility doesn’t end there – he’s given piano lessons to Lenny Henry (famous British comedian and actor) - worked with black metal bands like Winterfylleth, whom he joined. And even written symphonic versions of songs by metal stars Sonata Arctica.
But above all, Mark is passionate about the power of music to reduce stress and improve mental health. Whether through his keynote speaking, interactive workshops, or encouraging people to incorporate music into their daily lives, he’s dedicated to showing how music can be a game-changer for personal and professional wellbeing.
I thank Mark for joining my podcast, generously sharing his time.
Please note my introduction is based on Mark's own words from his website which you'll find here

NB. The conversation refers to his unique Musical Getaway experience in October 2025, on The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Northumbria- which is now sold out. However... I'm sure there will be more. So bookmark the website details to keep up to date
My podcast is advert-free and jingle-free, simply put together, and hopefully demonstrates you can be working alone, keep the tech simple, and still share fabulous information.
Keeping business simple is my motto! ...Although I will at some point have some music and a jingle!!
