BIO
Up to 2000, Martin wrote songs with Simon Burchell and Mark Street.
In 2001 Martin wrote 10 new songs himself (the “Life In Reverse” album), with Simon and Mark adding guitar to some of the tracks.
In 2002 “Follow The Sun” and “To Be With You” were covered by “Taylor-K”.
In 2003 Martin wrote the "Computer Girl" EP, 4 new songs all different in style, from pop to rock to alternative. Darren Mortimer and Mark Street played guitar on some of the tracks.
Also, as part of "Sx”, "Follow The Sun" was rewritten as a dance track with Déannè Blazey on vocals.
In 2004 Martin began to write songs with Geoff Holliss and concentrated on writing further dance music under the alias "Littlestar" with Geoff, Mark and Déannè. This led to the track "The Love That You Want".
In 2007 Martin reached the semi-finals of the "UK Songwriting Contest" with "A Little Closer" in the Pop category. This was then signed to "Leopard Music Publishing".
Also, "Follow The Sun" by "SX" was signed by "Crucial Music" in L.A.
In 2008, 2009 and 2010 Martin reached the semi-finals of the "UK Songwriting Contest" again with tracks "Such A Fool" and "We Shine Again" in the Rock/Indie category, and "Butterflies" in the Pop category.
These 3 tracks, together with the songs "Out Of Control" and "Looking To Catch A Ride", feature on the "We Shine Again" EP which was released on 01-Dec-09.
All monies raised from sales of the "We Shine Again" EP were donated to the British Heart Foundation.
