About Diesel (musician)

Diesel (musician), also known as Mark Denis Lizotte, is an American-born Australian singer-songwriter and musician, who has released material under the name Diesel, Johnny Diesel, as leader of band Johnny Diesel & the Injectors, and as a solo performer, as well as under his birth name. Two of his albums reached No. 1 on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Albums Charts, Hepfidelity in 1992 and The Lobbyist in 1993. The band took home first place, largely due to the combination of Andrews' vocals and Diesel's guitar work. He has won six ARIA Music Awards with three for 'Best Male Artist' in 1993, 1994 and 1995. Innocent Bystanders travelled to Sydney to record their second single, "Dangerous", released in July 1986. While his siblings became teachers, Diesel eventually settled on electric guitar as his main instrument.
