About Me

FIRST EVER FEATURE STORY... http://www.cm-life.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2006/10/02/45208b a11eedc ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------Mr. Scorpio himself, Martel, aka "the Best Kept Secret" aka "Cognak" is working on an album as we speak titled "Finally." With a mix between R&B and Hip-hop, his diverse style and writing skills could be what the music industry needs. The Flint, MI native, attends Central Michigan University as a fall back plan to his music career. Martel also produces his own tracks as well.Martel, aka The Best Kept Secret, was born and raised in Flint, MI. With a style of Soul, R&B, and Hip-hop, he writes his own music, lyrics, and produces his own tracks. Venturing off to start his own label in the future, Best Kept Records, he has a few artists under his belt he wants to get exposure as well as himself. Martel is diverse in his style of music. He has the ability to do tracks for the streets, love ballads, freaky tracks, and club bangers. He also has been known to produce tracks for rock, pop, and reggea artists as well. Focusing on vocal arrangements and harmonies, his style is unique, unlike any in the game already. Along with the ability to sing hypnotizing notes, rap unforgettable flows, and create crowd moving beats, Martel possesses the skill of dancing and performing as well. From choreographing dance routines for high school and college groups, to battling at local night clubs, Martel does have a rich background in performance in general. Martel is now working on his debut album that actually was already released, but he felt "unsatisfied" with it. So he is currently in the process of working on the finishing mixes on his new songs and working to put out the album titled "FINALLY..."I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
