Represented on over 100 million records sold worldwide, Spiro has delivered songs to artists such as Julian Lennon, Cheap Trick, John Waite, Heart, Laura Branigan, Bad English, Lita Ford, and Giant. He has also released solo material sporadically.
Career
Originally from Seattle, Spiro relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career within the music industry in his early 20s. While in L.A., he met German record producer/label owner Jack White, after which he spent several years in Germany working as a singer, songwriter, and producer (Laura Branigan, Anne Murray, Englebert Humperdink, Pia Zadora, Hazell Dean).
Upon Spiro's return to Los Angeles in the mid-1980s, he began building a reputation as a successful songwriter with his first major cut on the Top Gun soundtrack, and has continued to write songs and produce for other artists.
Spiro was one of the first recording artists to be signed by Interscope Records/Jimmy Iovine. Scheduling conflicts/politics resulted in Spiro leaving Interscope Records. He later recorded Care of My Soul, a solo album released in Australia, Scandinavia, and Japan. In September, 2012 his brand new Care Of My Soul. Vol. 2 album was released by Sun Hill Production. At the same time an extended version of the Care Of My Soul Vol. 1 album was released. Both CD albums are available in digipack packaging with 8-12 page booklets as well as found on all digital platforms and formats. In late 2012 Spiro co-wrote and produced the duet "Someday"with Julian Lennon and Steven Tyler.
Spiro also produced for his daughters Ruby and Summer Spiro, who recorded for Lyric Street Records as the duo Ruby Summer.

Amongst the leading songwriters of the late 80's and early 90's, Mark Spiro finally recorded an album of his own and the record was eagerly snapped up for release by the Swedish AOR specialist label Westcoast. Of note is the track 'English Channel', co-written with ex-THE BABYS and BAD ENGLISH frontman JOHN WAITE and session guitarist Tim Pierce.
Spiro's attempt at launching a band had unfortunately failed to develop beyond cutting demos. Spiro had teamed up with JEFF PARIS associate Michael Thompson (of MICHAEL THOMPSON BAND fame) in PRAY FOR RAIN, a project that involved drummer Bobby Huff, the lesser known cousin of GIANT's Dann and David Huff.
The 1997 album 'Devotion' benefitted from guest input from GIANT's Dan Huff. Spiro returned in 1999 with a third effort also featuring collaborations with Dan Huff, Pierce and John Waite. Signing to the Atenzia label the singer readied a new album '24 Hours' for 2003 release, once again collaborating with JOHN WAITE for the tracks 'Julia - The Sleeping Beauty' and 'I Got Faith'.
Spiro contributed his song writing talents to ex-UNRULY CHILD singer PHILIP BARDOWELL's 2005 'In The Cut' album. A new MARK SPIRO album, 'Mighty Blue Ocean', was set for 2005 issue through Atenzia Records.
