(Coral Gables, Fl): Mack Preston, whose debut CD “Tortured Mind” was recently released by Powerline Records/Select-o-Hits, is stretching his wings as an actor. The multi-tattooed former undercover cop has wrapped up a guest role on the USA Network hit series, “Burn Notice.” The episode, “Questions and Answers” airs Thursday, June 11 as part of Season 3, 9 p.m./8 p.m. Central on the USA Network. Additionally, Preston is slated to film a guest role on the supernatural series, “Slay Angels,” which has just signed its own deal with the USA Network and where producers have already used his music.
In his day job as an undercover detective, Preston became a legend in his local Florida by breaking up one of Florida's most murderous drug rings. Now nearing a much-deserved retirement, Preston (not his real name, for obvious reasons) is spreading the word about his arresting new debut as a recording artist.
Born in Pittsburgh and currently living in the Miami area, Preston is one of the few artists who has been able to successfully take modern rock and blend it with a classic feel. Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this unique artist has spent most of his life perfecting his vocal skills. Starting out as a background singer for local bands introduced his voice to audiences throughout the state. His distinctive look and his powerful voice became the catalyst to making bands and audiences long to hear him as a lead singer.
Growing up his older brothers exposed him to such rock pioneers as Rush, Boston and Led Zeppelin. This helped influence his style and also inspired him to learn to play drums. Mack fast became an accomplished drummer. His looks, voice and now skills on the drums made him a triple threat. This further secured him as a dominant presence on the local music scene.
Eventually, Mack's musical journey took him to Florida where he could be found in some of Miami's hottest recording studios. After accomplishing a multitude of musical goals there, he decided to come to Los Angeles and dedicate himself to his debut album, “Tortured Mind.” Mack is a passionate artist. His well-crafted lyrics explore the mind, soul and spirit with an edge only rock can give.
