About Me


“A promising, satisfying debut” Huw Stephens, BBC Radio One
"Credible and catchy!" Johnnie Walker, BBC Radio Two
“Great POP music! In the proper sense of the word!” Dan Martin, NME (New Music Review 8/10)
Hello MySpacers, I am Martin Goddard and I am a singer/songwriter from sunny Llanelli in Wales, UK. Last year I recorded a demo/album originally called '2006 Recordings' at my good friend Owain Rees' home studio.
I've had excellent feedback from the industry. Most notably my song entitled "Fade" as it's sparked a lot of attention from listeners all around the globe and as a result I was awarded at the 'UK National Songwriting Awards 2006' as the Goldstar Overall Winner and I also received an 'Honourable Mention' for my nomination for 'ACOUSTIC SINGLE OF THE YEAR 2006' at the prestigious 'The 16th Annual Los Angeles Music Awards'. Consequently, I am featured on a compilation CD called 'Acoustika Vol. 2' under Californian based record label 272 Records ( www.272records.com ).
Now I am part of a very exciting new band called Sierra Alpha ( www.myspace.com/sierraalphamusic ). A 5-piece creator of pop/rock enchantment including big harmonic filled choruses described as, and I quote, "caramel dripping candy for the ears"... Soon we will be on the road and in a town near you!
All I've ever wanted to do is share my music with whoever wants to listen and I am constantly writing and recording new material. I sincerely hope to achieve good things soon.
You can buy yourself a CD-R copy of the demo/album '2006 Recordings' for only £1.50 ($3.00). I'm not looking to make a profit so the small amount only covers the cost of the postage/packaging etc. I'm 'more about' getting it out there to as many listening ears as possible. It includes 10 original tracks recorded at Flash Four Studios ( www.myspace.com/flashfour )
