Mark Lentine

Mark Anthony Lentine has been singing since age 6, and writing (lyrics, prose, and poetry) since age 10. He began performing at age 8, and began acting in high school. Lentine's poetry has appeared in the Journal of the American Poetry Review, and he's published many articles, and monographs in regional newspapers, and college reviews. In the early 1990s Lentine branched-out into stand-up comedy, blending his musical interests in Jazz, and Blues with comedy, appearing at such diverse venues as Warmdaddy's, Ortlieb's Jazz House, Lefty's (in Atlantic City), and the 1997 Keswick Avenue Holiday Celebration (where he co-owned a business) in front of a crowd of some 300 people at the Keswick Theater. In 2004, Lentine went back to school for an eventual bachelor's degrees in English, Psychology, and Music, en route to a Master's Degree in Music Therapy. He is director, writer and lead vocalist for three new projects: “Musical Therapy,” musical-comedy review,” The Mark Lentine Syndicate”, and “Jazzenbee.” He continues to perform in regional venues in the tri-state area.
