“Mark has always been one of the most talented, versatile, positive and hardworking songwriters in this town,” says Robin Palmer, Chief Creative Officer at SMACK. “We are all very happy to welcome him to our SMACK team!”

“At this point in my songwriting career, to get to work with the amazing team at SMACK…I’m over the moon!” shares Irwin. “I’ve had the privilege of working with Robin in the past, and to have the chance to work with her again as well as with Lee [Krabel], Jeremy [Groves], Carly [Sater], Sam [Sarno], the incredible writers and the rest of the SMACK family, is truly an honor. I feel like I’m just getting started!”
