With her first EP, 3:33 AM<\/em>, Mark paid tribute to her late mother, by incorporating sounds and styles of music from the various places that they lived together throughout her childhood, while lyrically exploring themes of grief and longing. Her mother\u2019s influence on her and the love of travel and culture she instilled in her are rooted deeply\u00a0 in her work. Not long after the release of 3:33AM<\/em>, Mark had drummed up a loyal fanbase, which has only continued to grow.<\/p>\n \n\tHer career reached a new level, when she opened for Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s Short N\u2019 Sweet<\/em> tour, which coincided with the release of her second studio album, Pretty Idea, <\/em>launching her into a new stratosphere. With a bigger audience and new music pouring out, Mark notes how important long car rides are to her process. With its studio-like JBL Premium Audio System, the RAV4 Limited provides the perfect sanctuary to listen to her music and allow her to be completely immersed.\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAkilah Townsend<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tAmber Mark is no stranger to travel and she gets her best ideas when experiencing new places and incorporating new cultural influences.
