David Marks is a South African-born songwriter,[1] singer, producer, music archivist, and publisher who has been a member of the South African music industry since the 1970s. He spent much of his early career mixing, recording, releasing, and archiving a broad cross-spectrum of South African music.

Marks achieved success with his songwriting, penning some international hits, most notably "Master Jack", "Mr. Nico", and "Hey Mister"—songs that Marks wrote prior to 1967 whilst working underground in South Africa’s Free State gold mines.
