Although young, Mark often had meetings with journalists. From an early age, he perceived journalistic interviews as interesting experiences and good company. Of course, always at a professional level.
This time, Mark spoke with Heinz Kiku, a long-time journalist who is known for reports about everything that has to do with children, youth, culture, initiatives, commitment.
We bring you the interview in its entirety from the KiJuKu website.
Acting for the first time, writing your own songs
During the break, someone asked how old the bystanders think the prince-actor, who also plays the hunter commissioned by the queen, is. If it hadn’t been revealed, hardly anyone would have guessed (except those who had already studied the program) that Mark is only 14 years old. He completed his junior high school with the Vienna Boys’ Choir, “I was in the Haydn Choir”. He will visit the polyaesthetics branch at Hegelgasse 12 in Vienna in autumn of this year.
“I’ve loved music since I was very little – and I’ve listened to pretty much everything from Michael Jackson to classic and rock,” he confides Children I Youth I Culture I And more…. “I also write songs myself – from jazz to pop. I always needed something to set the right mood, whether it’s sad or happy. Usually I dream pictures with melodies in a kind of a short film. One time I woke up in the middle of the night around 3am, got up and sat down at the piano, playing the tune I was dreaming of before.” Sometimes, in four or five days, a number of songs flow out of my head and hands of the young man, “then there are two months where nothing new is created”.
One of his songs was even recorded by the Haydn Choir, in which he sang with the Boys’ Choir for four years.
He was hired for the musical production because of his singing skills, “Acting was completely new to me, but I quickly found my way around it, which wasn’t that difficult because it works like a big family here. Everyone helps and supports everyone, the only real challenge is that I have to change from hunter to prince within about 30 to 40 seconds, including removing my wig and mustache.”
