Singer Carl Martin draws inspiration from every aspect of life from the sound of blowing wind to the beat of his own heart.

Nurture and nature, fear and bravery, strength and weakness and relationships with one self and others are a few of many themes he presents in his compositions.

Through his music, Carl Martin wishes to share the message that with hard work, conviction, and a life without expectations, it is possible to face any hardship and emerge victorious.

Martin’s songs are direct representations of events, beliefs, and/or states of mind he has either experienced or faced. Lyrically, he describes his style as conversational—both an inner monologue and a conversation between two individuals.

His genre is not limited to standard pop. Martin integrates elements of all genres subtly or obviously: country, jazz, blues, R&B, Hip-hop, and Latin rhythms, to name a few. “Music is like the universe, it cannot be contained in a box; therefore any genre, beat or harmony should be allowed during song crafting. I use all the colors in the crayon box and also those outside the box to create one’s own set of colors”. This means that every time Martin feels the need to work on a new creative project, he puts on a brand new pair of lenses.
