Mark Johns has been a DJ and visual artist since 1991, getting his start in San Jose at Club F/X.
He began doing multi-image light shows (now called VJ'ing) for underground parties in the Bay Area such as Rave Called Sharon, Destiny, The Gathering, Toontown, Coolworld, By the People, Stompy, and many more.
In 1994 Johns partnered with San Jose dj's Rick Preston, DJ M3, and Loren to launch a weekly party called "The Velvet Shop".
