Money Mark -- the man and the myth who single or rather double handedly transformed Beastie Boys from one hit wonders and one miss blunders into transcendent musicians with his textured keyboards and heavy yet light songscapes on their comeback LPs Check Your Head and The In Sound From Way Out (not to mention all of their other recent LPs and tours) Mark Ramos Nishita aka "Keyboard Money Mark" was born in Detroit to a Japanese-Hawaiian father and Chicano mother. He moved to the West Coast when he was six. It was in these West Coast surroundings many years later that he met up with the Dust Brothers and began overdubbing keyboards. This led to his keyboard skills gracing many releases on the Delicious Vinyl label. Mark then hooked up with the Beastie Boys and became a member of their Grand Royalty Posse and is known as the fourth member of the band. Money Mark recorded on Check Your Head and Ill Communication and has just finished a tour with the Beastie Boys which spanned Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Japan. Other credits include a trilogy of 10" singles available through the LA- based Love Kit Records. Time off the road has given Mark the freedom to experiment with his own artistic endeavors which include painting, carpentry and of course, music. These solo projects reflect a pastiche of styles and a blend of musical genres that span different eras. Mark is working on solo projects under the name "Keyboard Money Mark."His first release,, Mark's Keyboard Repair (MO Wax/ffrr), was written performed, and produced by Mark in his home studio. The music is a crucial, trippy, progressive offshoot of scratchy soul and hip hop with a very laid back vibe. Last edited by spectrum; Oct 02, 03 at 12:44 AM.
