Things you should know about me: - My name is Martin - I love the tuba - I have a master's degree that proves I love the tuba - Tuba playing has made me significantly smarter than the average person - Getting work on the tuba is incredibly tough, so you should hire me to play the tuba for you - The rumor that tuba-players always get the chicks is a dirty lie, and I am the proof - I'm a drum and bass DJ trying to make a name for myself - Transit and SupportYourFuckingLocals are the drum and bass events I frequent on a consistent basis (I highly suggest you check them out)- I work seven days a week, but am lucky enough to spend half of those days either playing or teaching music - My goal for the next year is to earn a full-time position in some musical setting, either playing or teaching - My cat Mary Jane has insanely bad breath and drools when she's happy (God I love her) - Fall is my favorite time of year - I was born and raised on Alabama football - I also play guitar, bass, a little trombone, and even less drums - Moms seem to love me, and I seem to love them back ..r

My Interests
