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!
Ian Martin is an ideal collaborator – skilled, thoughtful, creative and reliable. I have worked with Ian on the sound design for two theatre shows Faraway, So Close (2014) and Joy Unspeakable (2016) and for both shows he produced some fantastic work. Ian has a sensitive appreciation of the specific context of creating sound for theatre, and his composition, editing and selection of music always served to enhance the story we were telling together. I would certainly recommend him.
