American singer-multi-instrumentalist Mark Foster was born. As the lead vocalist for the rock group Foster the People, he is most known. The band has so far put out three albums, “Torches,” “Supermodel,” and “Sacred Hearts Club,” in addition to several singles, including the popular tune “Pumped Up Kicks.” In addition, Foster is a songwriter who has written several songs. Having had a deep love for music since he was a little child, he relocated to Los Angeles in 2002 to seek a career in the industry. He first did a variety of odd jobs to help support himself. As the lead singer of Foster the People, Foster eventually found fame after a lot of hardships. When it comes to writing songs, singing, and making music, he is quite gifted. He is an accomplished musician who can play the guitar, keyboard, synthesizer, and piano. When it comes to the artist’s personality, he strikes me as uncomplicated and direct. He had battled drug addiction for years in his youth, but he was now sober.

The two tracks from the “Torches” album, “Don’t Stop” and “I Would Do Anything for You,” were included in the demo versions of his debut solo album, “Solo Songs,” which was produced and published the following year.
