Mark Haze - Idols Contestant 2011 - Solo Musician - Cape Town 

Music has always been a very important part of my life. 

I started singing at a very young age, the first instrument I ever played was the Piano in primary school (Bellpark Primary), not long after I started teaching myself how to play guitar at home. When I started high school (Settlers High) I took Music (HG) as a subject and studied classical guitar at the Bellville Academy of Music. Instruments I can play; Guitar, Piano, Drums as well as a bit of; Trumpet, Harmonica and more… 

I started my first band, ‘Novus’ the day I left school and have since played for bands; ‘Liquid Sky’, ‘Electric Monkey’, ‘The Threads’, and ‘The Mob’.

Then in 2001 I started my own band, which was first named ‘Fireborne’ , shortly after we renamed ourselves ‘12th Avenue’, which is the street our rehearsal studios is in, so it reminds us of where we started. Bjorn Faree (Guitarist) and I started the band; we have had a few lineup changes since. In 2005 my brother Gareth Haze (Drummer) joined and in 2010 Brian Lee (Bassist) was welcomed to the band. We have been going strong for 10 years and are looking forward to the future!

Mark Haze dreams of being able to play music full time.  He is currently in the Top 3 of the Season 7 Idols. Before Mark entered Idols, his band, 12th Avenue had quite a few tracks played out on TV and radio stations across the country, including two that cracked the number one spot on 5FM. Mark loves music as much as he does his family and he thinks ‘rock ‘n roll will save the world!’
