Shïppa-63 is the musical project of Mark Hoy from Kingscliff, on the Far North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Describing himself as a Solo Band, his aim is to create the sound of a full 3+ piece band, playing all guitars, bass, drums and keyboards, as well as providing all vocals and harmonies. With a music style heavily influenced by British Pop/Rock/Punk (Blur, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Radiohead, Fischer-Z, The Sex Pistols, The Damned, Doves, etc) as well as the sounds of some current bands such as Silversun Pickups, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Band of Skulls, Shïppa-63 provides an eclectic mix of songs guaranteed to please the harshest critic…or so he hopes.
Shïppa-63's first album, Pas Rien, was released in 2016.

Shïppa-63’s second EP, Hypochondria, released in 2018, contains extra evidence of his growth as a record producer. With 7 tracks, including the first single Hard Driven (a driving rock song in the vein of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club), the Britpop/rock stylings of The girl With No One To Love and the Glam Rock  throwback title track, Hypochondria.

​

In 2019, the third EP, Unentitled,entered its embryonic stage, with its final outing coming in early 2020.

​

In 2021, Journey in Sound, a remastered offering of the best bits from Shïppa-63 was released. Containing 14 tracks, it is a solid display of the diversity of the artist.

​

All 4 of these releases are available on all on-line providers (AppleMusic, Amazon, Spotify, Bandcamp, etc).
