I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!Amber Martin was born in Port Arthur, Texas and raised in Nederland, Texas with roots in bluegrass, country & western, gospel and folk by a large musically-inclined family, until she discovered Journey, Blue Oyster Cult, The Babys and Foreigner. As a result, she is a dancer, vocalist, actor, activist and performance artist. Ms. Martin's forte is making people laugh, think and remember through sound, simple story-telling and avant-garde visual stimuli.After achieving a BA in Dance at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, she endured a brief stint as a flight attendant, holding captive audiences. Having lived and performed professionally in Portland, Oregon for 11 years, Amber now lives in NYC, where she performs bi-monthly and DJ's weekly. Amby has produced, written, edited and starred in 2 critically acclaimed comic variety specials at Portland Cable Access, THE LARMITY SO FAR and JIGSAW SEESAW.In 1999, she formed a new-genre, multi-gender performance-dance-comedy group called House of Cunt* whose politically inspired, live shows exploded onto the Portland theatre scene in 2000. {ATTN Editors: House of Cunt* asks that if you are not able to print their name in your publications and/or correspondences, please refer to them as “a performance group whose name we cannot print” rather than abbreviate, obscure or otherwise censor their name—thank you}.Amber has produced, written, designed sound, choreographed and performed in these shows that have been described as; “the freshest night of theatre in ages...” and “a bracing surreality...that often borders on the genius...like choreographed breakdowns”, by the Willamette Week and “the funniest group in town” by the Oregonian. Amber’s sold-out solo show, Hi! earned the artist a 2003 Portland Drammy Award for Best Solo Performance. That same year she was flown back to Port Arthur to perform a one hour set of the songs of Janis Joplin at the 16th Annual Janis Joplin Birthday Bash and Gulf Coast Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Amber performed as a solo and duet vocalist with the Oregon Ballet Theatre. She has professionally appeared in commercials, films and plays. Her self-produced solo shows have premiered in Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, New York City, Amsterdam, Mexico and Texas.Amber opened as guest solo artist for Puppetry of the Penis, during their national tour. Her work appeared in PICA’s TBA (Time Based Art) Festival. She and House of Cunt performed twoshortshows to a standing-room-only audience of 600 plus. In January 2006, Amber, again headlined at the 19th Annual Janis Joplin Bash, along with Johnny Winter. Her sold-out restaging of Hi! in January 2003 made possible, Amber’s NYC and West Coast productions of the show. Hi! opened to critical acclaim for a 9-show, 3-week run at the Greenwich Village Center Theatre.(OK enough about me...)
