Martin made his debut as a soloist with the Texas State Symphony Orchestra after winning the school’s concerto competition. Since then, he has performed with the Central Texas Philharmonic, the Round Rock Symphony, the University of Texas University Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra of Indonesia, and more.

Martin’s debut album, “Detours,” was released in 2021 by the Centaur Records and is available internationally to purchase and stream.

A graduate of Texas State University (classes of Washington Garcia and Jason Kwak), Martin continued to study at the University of Texas at Austin, where he graduated with his Master and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees in piano performance with Anton Nel.
