Who I Am
I create spiritually intellectual hip hop with depth, style and integrity.
I grew up between three cultures: born in Pennsylvania, USA and raised in Madrid, Spain and Birmingham, UK. I currently live in Prague, Czech Republic. As an artist, I’m inspired by great thinkers and lyricists and write with a vulnerable prophetic edge, speaking to what is from the borders of what should be. My beats are authentic rhythmic collages built through play and creative re-imagining of sounds that move me. I make what I do because I must–love can’t help but overflow. I share the gift because it’s not mine to keep. I harbour a passion and urgency for spreading the truth and making it beautifully plain.

Testimonials
Ian was great to work with! He took my idea and refined it into a piece of music that will help identify and define my new podcast. Great communication and quick turn around. I’d love to work with him again!
I have had the pleasure of working with Ian Martin on a great variety of recording projects: from a six-piece funk band, with a range of musical traditions and instrumental line ups, to an extensive project with a collegiate male a cappella group, and now with the professional choral ensemble, Reverie. Each project has demanded a huge amount of patience and ability to successfully adapt to different recording environments. This not only demonstrates Ian’s extensive skills and expertise, but also his versatility and patience. The fact that I have chosen to use Ian on several projects is testament to the high calibre of work he produces. Ian Martin is highly recommended!
