John Mark Nelson (born November 23, 1993) is an American songwriter and producer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. When Nelson released his first CD, "Still Here", he was half way through his senior year in high school. "Still Here" is a collection of songs about a sixteen month period of his life. A time in which "everything seemed surreal and hazy". According to Nelson, he "became a very unpleasant person to be around, and yet (he) was the happiest (he) had ever been". It is an album about loss and regretful decisions. Later in the spring of 2012 his musical content made a change for the positive and optimistic. After a trip to Europe, he returned to record his uplifting tune "What Did I Find?" which received local acclaim in Minneapolis and St. Paul. In 2012 he released his second full length LP "Waiting and Waiting". <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/John+Mark+Nelson">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
