Musica Medici
Musica Medici - Electronic Press Kit
BIO
Mark Diotallevi is a retired family doctor living in Stratford, Ontario. He has practiced Medicine since age 30 and has practiced music since age 4. Being a successful family doctor means opening yourself up to deep, trusting relationships with patients. Most of all this means listening to them: their problems, fears, symptoms, and secrets, and then trying not to make them any worse. Musica Medici is the place where I use music to process 35 years of intense experiences and to understand what my patients have taught me.
By turning Medicine into Music, and Music into Medicine.
LOCATION: Stratford, Ontario. Canada.

GENRE: People ask what my genre is and then present me with a long list of choices. I rebel against being pigeon-holed. Then I realized that "genre" is "gender" without a "D"! I will let my listeners define the genre of each individual song. Since my songs are inspired by my patients, I would call it "Doc Rock"!
INFLUENCES: Neil Young, The Beatles, David Bowie, Paul Simon, T. Rex, The Who, The Tragically Hip, Andrew Lloyd-Weber, William Butler Yeats and Al Purdy.
