Mark Mitchum, nationally and internationally known Christian Concert Artist, has been deaf since birth. Thousands upon thousands of people have been touched by his ministry of reaching out to hurting Christians through music, personal testimony, and teaching. A truly gifted performer, God uses Mark to take some of the best loved Christian music and transform it into a breath-taking visual ministry, called "Sign Art". God has used Mark's life and ministry of "three dimensional music" to touch the lives of deaf and hearing audiences alike.

Mark has been featured on the TBN network, and has also appeared with a number of other artists, such as the Gaither Vocal Band, Twila Paris, Babbie Mason, Jonathan Pierce, the Martins, and the Hoppers, to name a few.
