About Me

After over a decade of classical piano training and some schooling in top 40 standards, Martha has been breaking into the pop market with a more unique approach. Vocally, with the exception of a few names, there's no female artist today that carries a similar sound. Martha has worked with such greats as Leon Russell and continues to seek out collaborative, creative and unpretentious opportunities in the music community.
