Mar’s musical roots trace back to the idyllic summer evenings in Kentucky, singing on the front porch with is family. It was then The Bishop Family began to form a musical foundation that would usher them to the forefront of Gospel Music. During their career, The Bishops enjoyed enormous success across all outlets, with twenty-seven national Top-40 songs, including twelve Top-5 songs and three Number 1 songs while singing to full houses in Gospel Music venues and churches across the united States and Canada.

He is one of the few soloist who have been invited to sing on the Main Stage of the Gospel Music’s signature event, The National Quartet Convention. Over the past thirty years, Mark’s songs are staples on Gospel Music radio, accumulating numerous hits on the national airplay charts. However, Mark would tell you that the greatest successes are not measured by chart topping songs, awards, sold out concerts or television appearances. He is most proud of his family and equally grateful for their support of his efforts to share through son, the message of God’s love, mercy, and grace. Mark and his wife Carolyn have been married over thirty years and have raised two wonderful daughters. They faithfully attend a small, county church where Mark’s dad is the pastor. For nearly fifteen years, Mark Bishop has been a featured columnist for Singing News magazine. Mark hardly ever writes about music. Instead, he shares his observations and thoughts about the Christian Life in America today. Think Paul Harvey meets Ernest Hemmingway.
