Mark Kaiser

California native Mark Kaiser began his obsession with records and the people that make them at an early age. Before then end of his teenage years he had toured the country extensively in his band, and was waist deep into music industry quagmire, releasing records on his fledgling Omnibus label, which would later serve as the jumping off point for The Shins, Mates Of State, The Intelligence and many more. After more than a decade of playing bank account and babysitter to ungrateful 20 and 30 somethings, Kaiser put an abrupt end to Omnibus, joined forces with long time musical and artistic collaborator Jay Howell and began Mt.St.Mtn. (Mount Saint Mountain), an art and recording project dedicated to limited vinyl releases and printed works which continues to this day. A professional art director and graphic designer by trade, Kaiser continues to play in various musical ventures, contributing to Unpiano whenever he's had a couple of beers and can find a free moment.
