He is a keyboard player, songwriter, studio
expert and session musician. He
became the first keyboard player for the successful British group Wham! and at one time collapsed in Hong Kong
from exhaustion after 7 months of touring with them. Having appeared with them on a live
television show, he became part of the group Matt Bianco in 1985 after
Basia and Danny White had left together to pursue her solo career. He is responsible for their move
from their early music to a more contemporary sound but after having hired
Emilio Estefan to produce their new material, and the release of the album Indigo, Mark Reilly and Mark Fisher
left their record company and went freelance. After 20 years recording together
they decided to go their separate ways but remained friends. The original members of the group
have since got back together and Matt Bianco is now re-recording and
touring once again. He
has also formed his own successful property selling website www.first4sale.com.
