'''Mark Allen Mothersbaugh''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ʌ|ð|ər|z|b|ɔː}}; born May 18, 1950) is an American musician and composer. He came to prominence in the late 1970s as co-founder, lead vocalist and keyboardist of the [[New wave music|new wave]] band [[Devo]], whose "[[Whip It (Devo song)|Whip It]]" was a top 20 single in the US in 1980, peaking at No. 14, and which has since maintained a [[cult following]]. Mothersbaugh was one of the primary composers of Devo's music.

In addition to his work with Devo, Mothersbaugh has made music for television series, films and video games via his production company, [[Mutato Muzika]]. He composed the music for the 13-year run of the animated series ''[[Rugrats]]'' and its three related [[Rugrats (film series)|theatrical films]]. He has created film scores for [[Wes Anderson]] and for [[Marvel Comics]] [[List of films based on Marvel Comics publications|films]]. As a solo musician, Mothersbaugh has released four studio albums: ''[[Muzik for Insomniaks, Volume 1 and Volume 2|Muzik for Insomniaks]]'', ''Muzik for the Gallery'', ''Joyeux Mutato'' and ''The Most Powerful Healing Muzik in the Entire World''.

In 2004, he received the Richard Kirk award at the [[Broadcast Music, Inc.|BMI]] Film and TV Awards for his contributions to film and television music.<ref name="bmi.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.bmi.com/news/entry/234057 |title=BMI Hands Out Over 100 Awards at Annual Film/TV Gala |date=May 12, 2004 |publisher=[[Broadcast Music, Inc.]] |access-date=October 28, 2010 |archive-date=June 22, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100622055605/http://www.bmi.com/news/entry/234057 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2008, Mothersbaugh received an [[Honorary degree|honorary doctorate]] of [[humanities|humane letters]] from [[Kent State University]], his [[alma mater]].<ref>{{cite web |work=[[Forbes]] |title=America's Best Colleges 2010 |url=https://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/94/best-colleges-10_Kent-State-University_94212.html |access-date=September 9, 2015 |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304105512/http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/94/best-colleges-10_Kent-State-University_94212.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Early years ==
Mark Allen Mothersbaugh was born on May 18, 1950, in [[Akron, Ohio]]. His parents are Mary Margaret ("Mig") and Robert Mothersbaugh Sr. He grew up with two younger brothers, [[Bob Mothersbaugh|Bob]] and [[Jim Mothersbaugh|Jim]], who are both musicians, and two sisters, Amy and Susan, and graduated from [[Woodridge High School]] in [[Peninsula, Ohio]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Mary M.

His father appeared in early Devo films and fan events as the character [[General Boy]] and his brothers participated in the band, although Jim's tenure was brief, appearing only on several early [[Demo (music)|demos]].

== Career ==
=== Devo ===
[[File:Devo.JPG|thumb|left|upright|Mark Mothersbaugh performing live with Devo at the [[Festival Internacional de Benicàssim]], 2007]]
Mothersbaugh attended [[Kent State University]] as an art student, where he met [[Devo]] co-founders [[Gerald Casale]] and [[Bob Lewis (musician)|Bob Lewis]]. In early 1970, Lewis and Casale formed the idea of the "devolution" of the human race after Casale's friends [[Jeffrey Miller (shooting victim)|Jeffrey Miller]] and [[Allison Krause]] were killed by Ohio National Guardsmen on university grounds during what came to be known as the [[Kent State shootings]].<ref>{{citation |url=http://news.nationalpost.com/arts/books/paul-vermeersch-a-brief-history-of-devo-part-1 |title=Paul Vermeersch: A brief history of Devo, Part 1 |date=October 21, 2014 |access-date=August 4, 2015 |archive-date=June 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630230356/https://nationalpost.com/category/news/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Intrigued by the concept, Mothersbaugh joined them, building upon it with elements of early [[Post-structuralism|post-structuralist]] ideas and oddball arcana, most notably unearthing the infamous ''Jocko-Homo Heavenbound'' pamphlet<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bhshadduck.tripod.com/index/id10.html|title=Jocko-Homo Heavenbound|last=Shadduck|first=B. H.|website=B. H.

Following the commercial failure of their sixth studio album ''[[Shout (Devo album)|Shout]]'', [[Warner Records|Warner Bros.]] dropped Devo. Shortly after, claiming to feel creatively unfulfilled, drummer [[Alan Myers (drummer)|Alan Myers]] left the band,<ref name=Myers>{{cite magazine|title= Alan Myers Obituary|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/alan-myers-devo-drummer-on-whip-it-dies-20130626|magazine= [[Rolling Stone]]|date= June 26, 2013|access-date= July 19, 2013|archive-date= July 22, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130722143224/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/alan-myers-devo-drummer-on-whip-it-dies-20130626|url-status= dead}}</ref> causing the remaining band members to abandon the plans for a ''Shout'' video LP, as well as a tour.

In 1987, Devo reformed with new drummer [[David Kendrick]], formerly of [[Sparks (band)|Sparks]], to replace Myers. Their first project was a soundtrack for the flop horror film ''[[Slaughterhouse Rock]]'', starring [[Toni Basil]] and they released the studio albums ''[[Total Devo]]'' (1988) and ''[[Smooth Noodle Maps]]'' (1990), on [[Enigma Records|Enigma]].

Devo had a falling-out and played two shows in 1991 before breaking up. Around this time, members of Devo appeared in the film ''[[The Spirit of '76 (1990 film)|The Spirit of '76]]'' (1990), except for Bob Mothersbaugh. In 1989, Mark Mothersbaugh established [[Mutato Muzika]], a commercial music production studio, hiring Ryan Moore and Bob Casale; Bob Mothersbaugh was also involved.<ref name="Are you not Devo?

[[File:Devo two.jpg|thumb|right|Devo performing live at [[Festival Hall (Melbourne)|Festival Hall]], in [[Melbourne]], Australia, 2008: [[Gerald Casale]] and Mothersbaugh]]In 2006, Devo worked with [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]] on the [[Devo 2.0]] project: a band of child performers was assembled to re-record Devo songs. The ''[[Akron Beacon Journal]]'' wrote, "Devo recently finished a new project in cahoots with Disney called Devo 2.0, which features the band playing old songs and two new ones with vocals provided by children. Their debut studio album, a two disc CD/DVD combo entitled ''DEV2.0'', was released on March 14, 2006. The lyrics of some of the songs were changed for [[family-friendly]] airplay, which has been claimed by the band to be a play on irony of the messages of their classic hits. Mothersbaugh doesn't rule out the idea of the band gathering in the studio, eventually, to record a new Devo album."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Abram |first=Malcolm X |url=http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/living/12412576.htm |title=Still DEVOlutionary |work=[[Akron Beacon Journal]] |date=August 18, 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051026163419/http://www.ohio.com/mld/beaconjournal/living/12412576.htm |archive-date=October 26, 2005}}</ref> The studio album, ''[[Something for Everybody (Devo album)|Something for Everybody]]'' was eventually released in June 2010, preceded by a 12" single of "Fresh"/"What We Do".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j278/ChadGrisly/?action=view&current=SOMETHIN.jpg|title=SOMETHIN.jpg|author=ChadGrisly|access-date=April 8, 2016|archive-date=October 11, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111011130326/http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j278/ChadGrisly/?action=view&current=SOMETHIN.jpg|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Devo was awarded the first [[Robert Moog|Moog]] Innovator Award on October 29, 2010, during [[Moogfest]] 2010 in [[Asheville, North Carolina]]. The award aims to celebrate "pioneering artists whose genre-defying work exemplifies the bold, innovative spirit of Bob Moog".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://moogfest.com/2010/news/moogfest-2010-announces-devo-as-recipient-of-moog-innovation-award |title=MoogFest 2010 Announces Devo as Recipient of Moog Innovation Award |publisher=[[Moogfest]] |date=September 8, 2010 |access-date=August 19, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111112154806/http://moogfest.com/2010/news/moogfest-2010-announces-devo-as-recipient-of-moog-innovation-award |archive-date=November 12, 2011}}</ref> Devo was scheduled to perform at Moogfest, but canceled three days beforehand after Mark's brother Bob Mothersbaugh (lead guitar) injured his hand.

=== Other work ===
In 1989, Mothersbaugh and other members of Devo were involved in the project Visiting Kids, releasing a self-titled [[extended play]] (EP) on the New Rose label in 1990.<ref>{{citation|url=http://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_spawn_of_devo_the_visiting_kids|title=The Spawn of Devo: Visiting Kids|date=April 26, 2012|access-date=August 13, 2015|archive-date=September 5, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905213200/http://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_spawn_of_devo_the_visiting_kids|url-status=live}}</ref> The group featured his then-wife Nancye Ferguson, as well as David Kendrick, Bob Mothersbaugh, and Bob's daughter Alex Mothersbaugh. Mothersbaugh co-wrote some of the songs, and produced the album with Bob Casale. A promotional video was filmed for the song "Trilobites". Visiting Kids appeared on the soundtrack to the film ''[[Rockula]]'', as well as on the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]''.

Since Devo, Mothersbaugh has developed a successful career writing musical scores for film and television. In film, he has worked frequently with filmmaker [[Wes Anderson]], scoring four of his feature films: ''[[Bottle Rocket]]'' (1996), ''[[Rushmore (film)|Rushmore]]'' (1998), ''[[The Royal Tenenbaums]]'' (2001), and ''[[The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou]]'' (2004).<ref>{{cite web |title=Mark Mothersbaugh |publisher=[[IMDb]] |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006205/ |access-date=July 17, 2007 |archive-date=July 5, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070705033316/http://imdb.com/name/nm0006205/ |url-status=live }}</ref> He composed for ''[[The Lego Movie]]'' (2014)<ref>{{cite news |last1=Welsh |first1=Jonathan |title=How Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh Helped Put 'The Lego Movie' on Top |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-SEB-79726 |access-date=March 17, 2021 |work=[[The Wall Street Journal]] |date=February 10, 2014 |archive-date=October 10, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211010082136/https://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-SEB-79726 |url-status=live }}</ref> and ''[[Thor: Ragnarok]]'' (2017).<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Ostrowski |first1=Mettie |title=Mark Mothersbaugh talks scoring 'Thor: Ragnarok' and not sounding 'like wallpaper' |url=https://ew.com/movies/2017/11/30/mark-mothersbaugh-thor-ragnarok-interview/ |access-date=March 17, 2021 |magazine= [[Entertainment Weekly]] |date=November 30, 2017 |language=en |archive-date=April 13, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210413163708/https://ew.com/movies/2017/11/30/mark-mothersbaugh-thor-ragnarok-interview/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Couch |first1=Aaron |title='Thor' Composer Knew Marvel Scores Sounded Similar, So He Decided to Change That |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/thor-ragnarok-composer-acknowledges-marvel-scores-sound-same-1054503 |access-date=March 17, 2021 |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=November 3, 2017 |language=en |archive-date=November 4, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171104004126/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/thor-ragnarok-composer-acknowledges-marvel-scores-sound-same-1054503 |url-status=live }}</ref>

In November 2014, Mothersbaugh said, "I've done over 150 art gallery shows in the last 20 years."<ref>{{cite news |last=Hesse |first=Josiah |title=Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh Still Loves Fucking with People |work=LA Weekly |date=November 8, 2014 |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/carving-rubies-into-poo-the-mark-mothersbaugh-art-retrospective-456/?utm/ |access-date=November 8, 2014 |archive-date=November 8, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141108083252/http://www.vice.com/read/carving-rubies-into-poo-the-mark-mothersbaugh-art-retrospective-456?utm |url-status=live }}</ref>

On February 6, 2014, the [[Museum of Contemporary Art Denver]] (MCA Denver) announced a retrospective exhibition to bring together the first comprehensive presentation of Mothersbaugh's art and music. This nationally touring exhibition was accompanied by a publication, ''Mark Mothersbaugh: Myopia'', published by [[Princeton Architectural Press]].<ref>{{citation |url=http://mcadenver.org/myopia.php |title=Mark Mothersbaugh Myopia |access-date=August 4, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150707061003/http://mcadenver.org/myopia.php |archive-date=July 7, 2015 }}</ref> 50 selections of postcard art from ''Myopia'' were published as a postcard book titled ''Mark Mothersbaugh: Collected Facts & Lies'' in 2015.

As a prelude to the ''Myopia'' exhibit opening in [[Cincinnati]], Ohio, Mothersbaugh held a concert gathering which included Devo songs and movie scores played in a classical style, an address to the audience with anecdotes, and musical pieces he specifically composed for a six-keyboard hybrid originally used for teaching lessons, that was refurbished by his brother Bob and contained a counter in the center for keeping time. The instrument was played by six people simultaneously.<ref name="Pitchfork">{{cite web |url=https://pitchfork.com/features/5-10-15-20/devo-mark-mothersbaugh-music-that-made-him-interview/ |title=Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh on the Music That Made Him |work=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]] |last=Minsker |first=Evan |date=May 18, 2020 |access-date=April 1, 2023 |archive-date=April 1, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230401023122/https://pitchfork.com/features/5-10-15-20/devo-mark-mothersbaugh-music-that-made-him-interview/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.citybeat.com/news/music-mark-mothersbaugh-12218985 |title=Music: Mark Mothersbaugh |last=Rosen |first=Steven |work=[[Cincinnati CityBeat]] |date=August 26, 2015 |access-date=April 1, 2023 |archive-date=April 2, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230402005148/https://www.citybeat.com/news/music-mark-mothersbaugh-12218985 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Mothersbaugh hosted a drawing segment on the [[Nick Jr. Channel]] television series ''[[Yo Gabba Gabba!]]'' called Mark's Magic Pictures, teaching children how to draw simple pictures. The pictures often come alive at the end of the segment through animation.<ref>{{citation |url=http://decider.com/2014/11/14/stream-baby-stream-drawing-lessons |title=Stream Baby Stream: Where Can My Kid Learn to Draw? |author=Matheson, Whitney |date=November 14, 2014 |access-date=August 4, 2015 |archive-date=August 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150805064238/http://decider.com/2014/11/14/stream-baby-stream-drawing-lessons/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

At the age of seven, Mothersbaugh began wearing glasses to correct his severe [[myopia]] and [[astigmatism]]. Over the years, he took an interest in designing his own distinctive eyewear for use in Devo shows. He favored a set of stainless steel frames for regular use made by a Los Angeles shop called LA Eyeworks and says he purchased as many pairs as he could find because they tended to break or get stolen by fans.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.esquire.com/blogs/mens-fashion/eye-glasses-of-the-day-061110 |date=June 11, 2010 |author=Peskowitz, Josh |title=Eye Glasses of the Day: Mark Mothersbaugh's |access-date=June 20, 2010 |work=[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]] |archive-date=June 15, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100615020041/http://www.esquire.com/blogs/mens-fashion/eye-glasses-of-the-day-061110 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="EW specs">{{cite magazine |url=http://www.ew.com/article/2014/10/02/mark-mothersbaugh-devo-eyewear |date=October 2, 2014 |author=Raymer, Miles |title=Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh on his new eyewear line, revisiting old work |access-date=September 7, 2015 |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref> In a joint venture with eyewear manufacturer Shane Baum, Mothersbaugh has designed his own branded frames for sale, made of beryllium with a stainless steel chrome finish, in three different styles as of 2015.

In a 2016 interview, Mothersbaugh mentioned having [[attention deficit hyperactivity disorder|attention deficit disorder]] (ADD).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Litt |first1=Steven |title=Q&A with Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh, whose "Myopia" show opens soon at two NEO museums (photos) |url=https://www.cleveland.com/arts/2016/05/qa_with_devo_co-founder.html |website=Cleveland |access-date=February 3, 2024 |date=May 13, 2016 |quote="I figured out a way to harness my ADD [attention deficit disorder] to my benefit," he said in a recent telephone interview.

He has been married twice. His first wife was actress Nancye Ferguson, who can be seen briefly performing with him in the 1999 superhero comedy film ''[[Mystery Men]]''. His current wife is Anita Greenspan, who runs the film music managing company Greenspan Kohan Management with Neil Kohan. The couple has two daughters from China, adopted after Greenspan learned of the practice in that country of female children being abandoned because of their gender.<ref name="MM family" />

Mothersbaugh contracted [[COVID-19]] in May 2020, and was placed on a ventilator in an [[intensive care unit]] at [[Cedars-Sinai Medical Center]] for 18 days. In August 2020, Mothersbaugh recounted that he "nearly died" of the disease, and was in a delusional state while infected; he came to believe that he had been hospitalized after being hit by a brick in [[Little Tokyo, Los Angeles|Little Tokyo]], and repeatedly urged his family members to search for his attackers.<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Greene |first1=Andy |title=Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh Says He Nearly Died From Covid-19 |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/devos-mark-mothersbaugh-says-he-nearly-died-from-covid-19-1053433/ |magazine=[[Rolling Stone]] |date=August 31, 2020 |access-date=September 1, 2020}}</ref> He described having lasting [[neuropathic pain]] as a result of the illness.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Roberts |first1=Randall |title=Mark Mothersbaugh nearly died from COVID-19.
