Meet Kevin Martin - a solo pop-rock songwriter with a sound that's described as "Burt Bacarach meets Queen and Elton John." A San Diego native, Kevin got his musical in taking classical piano lessons after his parents overheard him singing. He started writing songs at age 12 and played his first bar gig with a band at age 16. In high school he honed his vocal skills and won multiple awards for his stage performances in a variety of musicals, and by senior year was voted "Most likely to be on MTV." While Kevin is technically making his debut as a solo performer, he is a seasoned veteran of performing in rock bands - most notably playing keyboards and co-writing for established San Diego pop-rockers, Get Back Loretta. The band has won a total of six San Diego Music Awards while Kevin has been part of the band. With Get Back Loretta, Kevin has played notable venues such as The Casbah, Belly Up, House of Blues, and the Warfield in SF to crowds of 3000+. Kevin's style of music is what he calls "Throwback Pop" - which takes his modern flair for performance and combines it with his love of vintage piano-pop stylings. To create his self-titled album, Kevin Martin paired up with local music producer Lauren Scheff (Scheffxp.com). Lauren's pop production and arrangement skills alongside Kevin's upbeat melodies have created an album with a sound that is hooky as ever for the masses, while still maintaining that indie sense of creativity and originality. The album is set for release in May of 2011.
