About Me

Since 2003, Davidson County native BENJI MARTIN has been honing his talents in front of audiences in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina. He credits Paul McCartney and the late John Lennon as his songwriting inspiration, and his guitar work and tenor voice have won him comparisons to Neil Young, the Bee Gees, Coldplay and Staind.
