As one-fourth of the legendary British boyband A1, Mark Read was instrumental in crafting some of the most unforgettable pop hits of the late '90s and early '00s. Now, 26 years after the group's debut, Read continues to shine as a seasoned songwriter with the release of his festive new single, 'Christmas Star'.
