About Martin

Originally from St. John’s, Newfoundland, Martin attended Memorial University in the late 1980′s – early 1990′s. During his time at MUN, Martin wrote music reviews for The MUSE and hosted a number of radio programs on CHMR. In 1996, Martin moved to Halifax to attend university. Between 1996 – 2000, Martin wrote music reviews for The Weldon Times (Dalhousie). Following graduation, Martin remained in Halifax.  He is married with two wonderful children.

Martin has always been a lover of East Coast music and the East Coast Music scene, which is home to some exceptional musicians. He has been listening to, watching and talking about the great music this region has to offer for many years.
