Born in Fall River Massachusetts, the youngest of seven from a sax playing electronics technician father and a mother in nursing, Mark Lizotte aka DIESEL grew up in Australia and in the U.S. He formed the band Johnny Diesel & The Injectors in 1986 from remnants of a previous band before embarking on a solo career in 1991.

In 2020 Diesel celebrated 33 years “off the bus” landing in Sydney in 1987 after a three-day bus journey across Australia, launching into nine shows per week – the rest is history. With over thirty five singles, sixteen albums, six ARIA awards and record sales edging 1 million, DIESEL is a journeyman of music. With blues music in his DNA, an influence largely from his Father’s record collection, DIESEL has blended styles to come up with a truly unique sound, punctuated with his distinct guitar playing and vocals.
