Mark Hunter – C LA C I

Welcoming to the Natalie’s Happening Hour Stage for the first time – Mark Hunter (aka C LA C I – pronounced Selassie I).

Born in Freetown Sierra Leone, Mark moved to boarding school in Ghana at 11. On Mfantsipim school campus in Ghana, Mark was a ‘foreign’ student blessed to absorb some of the language and culture of Ghana. From Ghana he came straight to college at Otterbein in Westerville – which was an even more foreign experience – but Columbus became home, and Mark has lived and performed in Ohio ever since.

Mark is the lead singer of The ARK Band. For this solo show he’ll play acoustic roots storytelling music that draws from Reggae Country and African influences.
