About Me

"A man, a plan, a canal, panama!"
Apart from being a fantastic palindrome it also perfectly describes my life, the life of Marty (except for the canal part). Since early days I knew that being a singer/songwriter was my road. Not an easy road though, and definitely not a road without the pot-holes of chance and fate. But as a wise man once said "in every pot-hole there is hope" (and some other leftover letters much less exciting). And in my case hope came in the form of reality television (*coughselloutcough*).
Since my brief brush with fame I now work as a songwriter and session singer in Sydney and Newcastle, writing songs for me and also for other artists. On this page you'll find a selection of songs and recordings that represent what I've been doing with my time for the last couple of years. If emotive, soul searching songs with soaring melodies is your thing then be sure to watch this space....
