Under the name Diesel, American-born roots rock guitarist/singer Mark Lizotte became one of the biggest-selling and most-awarded Australian recording artists of the late '80s and early '90s. After achieving success with his first band, Johnny Diesel & the Injectors, Lizotte launched a solo career billed simply as Diesel in 1992 that yielded a pair of number one albums in Hepfidelity and The Lobbyist, along with three consecutive ARIA Awards.
