My Story
I’m Mark Walton, an Irish musician and music executive with a passion for songwriting and production. Back in 1993, I co-founded Boyzone alongside Louis Walsh, helping shape the band’s early development before moving on after about a year. Since then, I’ve built a career in the music industry, working with bands like Fifth Avenue and collaborating with Red One Productions on projects featuring some of the industry’s leading artists.
​
In 2018, my name was linked to a tragic criminal case involving the murder of French nanny Sophie Lionnet. My ex-girlfriend, Sabrina Kouider, and her partner were convicted of the crime, and I testified during the trial, expressing profound sadness over the misuse of my name. Despite this difficult chapter, I remain proud of my contributions to music and continue to pour my energy into songwriting and creative projects.
