About Me


Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Backgrounds at MySpace Toolbox ! ************************************************************ ****** ************************************************************ ** Whats up ? Its Me, Martin Kember.. I am a music writer, producer and artist and an overall music Junkie!! I have been fortunate enough to have worked with some of today great artists, and have a few Gold and Platinum titles to my credit including songs/production on the Legand "2 PAC"(Until the end of time), " Plus One" (The Promise) Kenny Latimore, All 4 One, and Australian Idol Winner "Guy Sebastian". I have been in the Music Business since 1992 with my first singing group called "AZ-ONE" (AZ-1) who reached top Billboard to 40 with our 1st single TRUST IN ME. My last release was my solo debut on Warner Bros. Records entitled "One Shade Of Love", with tracks produced by myself and the great Rapheal Saadiq". I just came back from a trip to Shanghai China where I was singing with ALL 4 ONE at then Grand opening of the now World Famouse club VISA in Downtown Shanghai. What a blast!! I am currently writing and producing for a variety of artists and writing and working with Chicago's Hottest new production team "The Insomniax" (Jo Jo, Bobby Valentino), and the Ultra Talented ANDRE LINDAL. I have also just started writing and recording MY next CD which will be called "Grown Folks Music" . I am about 3 songs deep so far and have all the work and fun ahead of me. I also have a hand in producing and developing my son ASH and his forthcoming cd under Macy Greys umbrella..which I believe will be called 'The Grey Area". There are even rumors of another AZ-One project, so I will keep you posted!! CLICK ON MY NAME IN THE PLAYER TO SEE MY MY SPACE MUSIC PAGE. Im gonna test out this SNOCAP service... looks cool to me..
