NEW YORKApril 29, 2018PRLogMARK HUDSON is a Grammy Award winning songwriter and producer who has worked with artists such as Ringo Starr, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Harry Nilsson, Cher, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper and Celine Dion.

Mark Hudson first came on the scene in a rock band with his brothers, Bill and Brett — The Hudson Brothers. Their band, deeply influenced by the Beatles, had two top-20 hits, “So You Are A Star” and “Rendezvous” produced by Bernie Taupin for Elton John’s Rocket Records.

In 1974, the Hudson Brothers became Sonny and Cher’s summer replacement on television, which eventually evolved into the Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show, a variety show that mixed music and comedy.

The Brothers enjoyed much success with seven albums and concert tours worldwide. Mark Hudson then went on to learn music production from the legendary Phil Ramone, and began producing and writing songs for a variety of top artists.

In 1992, Phil Ramone felt Mark Hudson was ready to fly solo while working on Ringo Starr’s Time Takes Time album. Mark went on to produce eight albums with Ringo including Ringorama, Vertical Man, and Choose Love, to name a few. In 1993, Mark wrote the Grammy winning song, “Livin’ on the Edge” for Aerosmith, which went to number one worldwide.

In 2005, Mark was a cast member on the Simon Cowell smash hit, “The X Factor” along with Sharon Osbourne. During his three years there, he wrote and produced, “It’s Chico Time”, which went to number one in England and also produced Ozzy Osbourne’s first number one single titled, “Changes” with Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne.

In 2011, Mark produced Pete Seeger, Jeff Beck, Seal and Billy Bragg tracks for the critically acclaimed Bob Dylan Tribute Album for Amnesty International.

In 2012 Mark released his solo album, The Artist, which is a psychedelic autobiography, with guest stars such as Ringo Starr, Steven Tyler, Harry Nilsson and Joe Perry. His solo album The Hooligan followed in 2014.

In 2017 Mark reconnected with Hanson after 20 years, and produced their iTunes top 10 Christmas album, Finally It’s Christmas.
