He attended Tollington School, a now-defunct grammar school in Muswell Hill, London, and he had taken a course in child psychology at the University of Sussex but dropped out after a year and a half. His music career started to come to fruition when he formed a band, The Reaction.

After just one single, 1978’s “I Can’t Resist”, The Reaction disbanded. Through his brother, Hollis was introduced to musicians Paul Webb, Lee Harris and Simon Brenner, with whom he formed Talk Talk in 1981, soon signing to the EMI label. Hollis is best known as the lead singer and primary songwriter of the band Talk Talk between 1981 and 1991. He was praised for his “always remarkable voice, and, along with Talk Talk’s producer Tim Friese-Greene, took the lead in evolving the band’s style from New Romantic into the more experimental and contemplative style that later became known as post-rock. In 1998, Hollis released an eponymous solo debut album, Mark Hollis, and then, according to a 2008 article in The Guardian, retired from music.
