About Me


Get Your Own Voice Player ManageFirst let me take a moment to thank each and every one of you for visiting my profile. Here my story begins. I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, but I grew up all over. My Mother loved to travel :) My Mother and I were very close, she was my best friend, for I grew up without a Father. Unfortunately my Mother passed away in 1994, I was 12 years old. After my mother passed away I tried living with my oldest sister but things did not work out so she put me into the "Systems care." There I was bounced around from shelters, to group homes, to foster homes. None in which worked out. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy into the system, that's how bad it was, at least when I was in it. Anyway by the age of 17 I finally convinced the court to "Amancipate" me(that means allow me to live on my own.) School was my escape goat from all the pain and hurt I felt. Therefore I did very well in school but I constantly got looked down upon because of where I came from :( Anyway I graduted!!! and my graduation date happen to fall on my Mothers Birthday, which was the best gift I could give her :) After High school I decided to go to college and Major in Musical Theatre. While in college I played semi professional women's football through the NWFL for the Tulsa Hurricans, after I left school I went to play football for the Austin Outlaws. Being involved in this incredible sport really helped boost both my self esteem and self confidence. I realized shortly after in college, that it just wasn't for me. Trying to juggle 3 jobs and school was really difficult and I had to make the decision to 1. Keep on struggling to make it? or 2. Allow myself to relax and live for me? I choose option 2. I figured I owed it to myself and I deserved it. I must admit though college really helped me in making this decision. I had to face my fears and grief while I was in college and it was then when I decided to let certain things in my past go. I decided to stop looking at my life struggles as a negative but more as a positive. I realized that I really wanted to do something with my music abilities and talents. I currently live in Ft Lauderdale, FL and I am working on my first album featuring my original music:) I am the lead Female Vocalist for 2 bands one is a 4pc rock powerhouse band called "PhatMunkey" and the other is a 6pc high energy corporate band called "Ovation" My dream of becoming a performing artist has come true. I believe that success is not measured by how wealthy you are, but by your happiness :) I hope my story has inspired you to always stay true to yourself. Remember to always follow your heart and most importantly never give up!!!!DON'T FORGET TO VISIT MY MUSIC PAGE AT WWW.MYSPACE.COM/MARTINAMEHTA. ENJOY!!!
