He has won five ARIA Music Awards with three for 'Best Male Artist' in 1993, 1994 and 1995.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ARIA Awards 2009 : History: Winners by Artist: Diesel )〕 ==Early years== (詳細はFall River, Massachusetts, United States, and emigrated to Australia with his family, in November 1971.〔 His father, Henry Bertram Lizotte (born 19 June 1929),〔 and his mother, Theresa Rita (née Morin, born 18 January 1930)〔 were parents of Jeannine, Bruce, Michael, Laura, Donna, Brian and Mark. They settled in Perth, Western Australia, where he later had a job pouring petrol—an experience that provided inspiration for his music. Henry was a professional saxophonist performing in the US and Australia, Diesel and his siblings were surrounded by music from an early age.〔 While his siblings became teachers, Diesel eventually settled on electric guitar as his main instrument.〔 He later recalled a time in Year 8 (c. 1979) at Scarborough Senior High School when he decided on a musical career: "I was trying to get my head around algebra () and suddenly I thought: 'Hang on, I don't have to do this. I can play music as a job!'". During his school days at Scarborough Senior High School he joined a newly formed band by Duncan Andrews named "Dark Spot". The band was Diesel's first. Whilst the band was without a vocalist for some time, Andrews was on bass, with Bill Advic on electric rhythm guitar and Diesel on lead guitar. Each band member tried out for the vocalist spot but it was thought that no one could sing well enough. In 1981 Dark Spot entered the battle of the band competition in Fremantle with an original song penned by Duncan Andrews with Andrews on vocals and bass. It was well regarded that Diesel's lead guitar talents stole the show and won first prize for the band. In his mid-teens, Diesel (as Mark Lizotte) performed with The Kind and Close Action.〔〔〔〔Spencer et al, (2007) (Lizotte, Mark ) entry.

Retrieved 4 December 2009.〕 and they released a single, "Lebanon" in 1984 with the line-up of Diesel, John "Tatt" Dalzell on bass guitar, Brett Keyser on vocals, Cliff Kinneen on keyboards and Sherrit on drums.〔〔〔 Innocent Bystanders travelled to Sydney to record their second single, "Dangerous", released in July 1986.〔 They had attracted the attention of hard rockers, The Angels, and went on to record another single and an album, ''Don't Go Looking Back'', which was released later in 1986, however Diesel had already left the band.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diesel (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
