Mike Martinez is a passionate singer and songwriter with a message in every song. He is a true artist. His vocal style and heartfelt songs put him in a class by himself. Growing up in Durham, Connecticut, Mike began singing in the local church choir at the age of nine. By expressing himself through singing, Mike developed a natural talent for songwriting and performing. During the mid and late 1990s, he performed in the New England area with his band singing lead vocals and playing rhythm guitar. Mike has shared the stage with many national acts, and also has the distinct honor of performing live at the world renowned Grand Ole Opry. Mike came to Nashville during the late 90s to record his first album, Honest Man. This collection of original songs embrace the many flavors of country music as it was, not what you here on radio today. From autobiographical ballads and love songs, to dance hall shuffles, Mikes music had caught the attention of radio stations up and down the East Coast, and his song "Virginia" was a successful radio release in April of 2000.
The listeners response was extremely positive.
Mikes contributions and success in music on the local scene intensified his desire to make his move to Nashville where he worked hard to establish himself. Most recenlty Mike joined forces with friends Paul Robinson and Chris O'Brien forming the band SOL. "SOL is one of those projects that just happened. Both Paul and Chris have been lifelong musicians, each being very talented singers and players. When we sing a song together even for the first time its natural. We are each lead singers as well as harmony singers which put is in a league of our own". SOL continues to draw crowds wherever they play, and their name is definitely becoming known in the Nashville music scene as a force to be recond with. They continue to write and perform their own material, as well as incorporating classic songs that can only be duplicated by power-house vocal groups.
