Martin was born and raised in Paisley, Scotland, where in church he was surrounded by live music from an early age. He was encouraged to participate and this is where his love for music grew. It was here, where he first experienced authentic passionate worship for God, through music and song and this has stayed with him ever since. It was also here that he graduated from strumming the tennis racket to his first real guitar at age eight:) Since then his music has developed and Martin has had the privilege to travel to various parts of the world, including the USA, UK, Africa, and Europe, to play his music.
