After a hugely successful career with the band Dire Straits, Mark Knopfler began his career as a solo performer in 1996 with the release of the Golden Heart album. Knopfler's solo career has allowed him to hone his rare talent as a singer/song-writer.
A guitar hero for three decades (one of Rolling Stone magazine's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time"), he's also a singer, songwriter, record producer and film score composer. He's won multiple Grammy Awards in both rock and country categories and has sold in excess of 120 million albums to date. In 2001 the Masiakasaurus knopfleri (a species of dinosaur) was named after him.
