[edit] Early years
At 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 [1]of “Halala” fame. They signed to Sony Music and released their first album.
In 2004 he entered the Coca Cola Popstars[2] and was selected out of 15,000 entrants for the winning group, Ghetto Lingo.
