Mark Tremonti was born into a family of American and Italian descent, the youngest of three sons of Michael and Mary Tremonti. His interest in guitar playing, and music in general, dates back to the age of 11 when he bought his first guitar, a Les Paul imitation TARA for $25. Although he started guitar lessons, after just one class he abandoned it and started practicing alone.

Four singles reached No.1 on Billboard’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart – My Own Prison, What’s This Life For, One and Thorn.
