Mark D. Sanders
California native Mark Daniel Sanders was a literature major, basketball player and a surfer who, at age 29, came to Nashville to write songs. After 10 years, his career skyrocketed in the early 1990s, thanks to hits by Diamond Rio (“Mirror, Mirror”), Tracy Lawrence (“Runnin’ Behind”) and John Anderson (“Money in the Bank”), and he’s gone on to rack up 14 #1 singles. Mark has twice been named NSAI Songwriter of the Year (in 1995, with 5 #1 songs that year alone, and in 1996) and has won two of ASCAP’s highest awards: Country Songwriter of the Year (1997) and Country Song of the Year (1996) for writing “No News” (recorded by Lonestar). He’s also collected four CMA Triple Play Awards, given for charting three #1 songs in a 12-month period. His “I Hope You Dance” (recorded by Lee Ann Womack) won a Grammy Award in 2000 for Best Country Song, and was declared Song of the Year by virtually every music industry awards organization — NSAI, ASCAP, BMI, the ACM and the CMA. He and co-writer Tia Sillers later authored a book inspired by the song that has sold two million copies. Additionally, Mark’s songs have been hits for artists such as George Strait (“Blue Clear Sky”), Ricochet (“Daddy’s Money”), Faith Hill (“It Matters to Me”) and Jack Ingram (“That’s a Man”).
Sarah Majors
Sarah Majors has been a professional songwriter since 1994. She has enjoyed the success of having songs recorded in country, pop, bluegrass, contemporary folk and gospel genres. Some of the artists that have cut her songs include Trisha Yearwood, Trace Adkins, Tracy Byrd, The Kinleys, Rissi Palmer, Michelle Wright, No Secrets, Michael Peterson, Maia Sharp, Matt King, Megan Mullins, Valerie Smith and Liberty Pike, just to name a few. Sarah’s songs have also been featured on the hit ABC show, Extreme Makeover, the horror film, “Trailer Park of Terror”, and the cd/documentary project “This Is My America” features two of her tunes.
Megan Mullins
In her relatively short lifetime, Megan Mullins has mastered seven instruments and genres, won numerous musician championships, and worked as a model and actress.
The Indiana native began taking violin lessons at the age of 18 months, and won the Indiana State Fair Showmanship Award at the State Fiddle Championship at age three. Mullins comes from a family of professional musicians who toured the country in a van together playing shows through much of her childhood. She began performing with her brother Marcus, and at age 14, they played the Grand Ole Opry. As if she weren’t busy enough, Mullins began taking dance, gymnastics, theater, and swimming classes. Since graduating high school at the age of 15, Mullins has worked at perfecting her fiddle playing and singing talent, playing numerous gigs throughout the United States and abroad. At the age of 18, she released her first single on Broken Bow Records, called “Ain’t What It Used to Be.” The single was met with immediate and overwhelming public response.
