Mirk is an American musical group from Albany, New York, founded in 2009. Their music has been characterized as a cross between the genres of pop, soul, rock, R&B, and hip-hop.
Besides writing and performing their own music, Mirk has also been credited with producing music for Jay-Z, Petey Pablo, Eamon, Ciara, Young Jeezy, and Rob Cas among others; several have been certified "Platinum" and "Gold" by the RIAA.
As of Spring 2012, only months after releasing their second album, Grind, the band has returned to the studio to continue writing new music. They also continue their heavy live-performance schedule, playing between 50-75+ shows a year across the United States.
