Born in Kassel, Germany in 1961, Martin grew up in a bilingual household, his father being an American Army Sergeant and his mother a German homemaker.
In 1970 Martin entered the Albert Schweitzer Schule (College) from which he graduated in 1981, majoring in English and Political Science. He then moved on to take up classes in an Economic School from which he graduated in 1983, majoring in Business English and Social Economics.
After losing 3 court battles as a conciencious objector, he was drafted into the Army in 1985 and completed his mandatory 15 month service in December of 1986. After relocating to Munich, Bavaria, Martin worked as a Forwarding Agent and in 1989 received his European Customs Broker license.
Martin worked as an import export consultant at Munich Airport for 2 years, during which time he began becoming more involved in his passion - music. He quickly became a much sought after commercial singer and composer in the European Music Industry, and lent his voice to blockbusters such as Fletch, Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop. Working with ueber-producer Harold Faltermeyer, Martin's distinctive voice became recognizable as the sound of Burger King, Lufthansa and Rothman's Cigarettes. After conquering the market, Martin felt compelled to give the American music industry a try.
He met his now wife, British born Ruth McCartney, in Munich in 1991, and they together discovered the U.S. by spending 3 weeks in Los Angeles on vacation. After immigrating in 1992, Martin worked at first for the Euro-Television Network RTL's Los Angeles office. He also continued writing and recording music, jingles and station IDs for the European radio and TV markets, where he is still the voice of over 40 radio stations' jingle IDs.
After the Northridge earthquake in 1994, Ruth and Martin moved to Nashville, TN to write for one of the fastest growing music publishing markets. During their 3 years in Nashville, Ruth and Martin founded McCartney Multimedia, Inc. creating and publishing websites, first for themselves and subsequently for artists and small businesses. Martin has become an accomplished Photoshop® artist and interface designer and is responsible for the UI of the Flash® site at Clint Black.com as well as various others.
In 1997 they again relocated to Playa Del Rey, CA where MMI is now headquartered.
McCartney Multimedia, Inc., whose clients include RCA Records, MGM /Mirage Resorts and Hotels, The GACC, Korean Airlines / Wilshire Grand Hotel and The Nevada Film Commission, is a privately held California Corporation.
