Marty Simpson engaged fans and judges alike when he debuted himself to the nation on the top-rating TV show, “Australian Idol.†But Marty’s feet were already itching and toes tapping. The moment his time on the show came to an end (Marty was in the final four), he immersed himself in what he loves - and does - best: making and playing music. In the past 12 months, Marty has fulfilled a dream – touring up and down the East Coast performing at over 40 venues to his rapidly growing fan base. Through social networking sites, Marty’s increasing number of fans have been able to track where he’ll be and what he’s been up to – which is a great deal! In between touring, Marty has managed to perform at the hugely popular Rip Curl Pro surf festival at iconic Bells Beach and tap into his core fan base again at the Surfing Life Peer Poll Awards. He’s also been busy writing and creating music – and is looking to release an album in the upcoming months, accompanied by a tour later this year. Marty’s songs are an insight into his incredibly genuine personality. They are engaging, honest and superbly crafted. Having already worked with some of Australia’s finest musicians, Marty recently wrote a song with James Reyne (Australian Crawl).
