The adventurous, boundry-crossing spirit of 70’s prog rock and cinema originally inspired a life in the arts.
Music & Cinema
Deep study at the University Of North Texas in jazz improvisation, classical composition and a love for pop music have provided a bottomless fountain of inspiration from which to drink the waters of passion and creation.
Since his first music cue in Earth Girls Are Easy, Martin has provided scores, songs, cues, arrangements and productions for a stylistically diverse array of shows. Traditional music includes operatic classics for The 4th Tenor and big band jazz for the TV series Army Wives. Pop music includes Lindsey Lohan singing Martin’s song “Don’t Move On” onscreen in Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen” and producing “Miracles Happen” for the certified gold soundtrack album for Princess Diaries 2.
Martin has produced celebrity vocal tracks for Brendan Fraser, Mary Steenburgen, Denise Richards, Eddie Griffin, Rodney Dangerfield, Denis Leary, Anne Hathaway, Heather Graham and more. His music appears in Oceans 12 & 13, The Matador, Kyle XY, Bedazzled, Ugly Betty, Lost, The Reaper, Undercover Brother, Kinsey, Samantha Who and many more.
An early adopter of digital recording, Martin has been using ProTools since it’s debut in 1991. To this day his passion for musical exploration is a daily quest that crosses through nearly any style of music. Particular loves are electronica, English composer Vaughan Williams and listening to KCRW. Martin is endorsed by Samick’s Greg Bennett guitars.
Martin performs as a singer-songwriter and is currently recording his debut CD as a solo artist. Additional endeavors including writing screenplays and movie directing.
