Early life

[edit]

At age 16, it looked like Martin had hit the big time when his brother invited him to be part of a three men group that was to work with top producer, Gabi Le Roux. That group was Inadiflo[3] of "Halala" fame. They signed to Sony Music and released their first album.

In 2004, he entered the Coca-Cola Popstars[4] and was selected out of 15,000 entrants for the winning group, Ghetto Lingo.

Ghetto Lingo

[edit]

The group has since released two albums, and had its fair share of the live music scene, in the country.[5]

Martin has also gone on to appear on e.tv’s "Backstage" SABC 7de Laan, Channel O and presented "Bibo" on SABC2 nd e.tv Pop Star.
