Chase Martin is not your typical singer/songwriter; he is an artist whose desire is to relate to the listener through sharing his own experiences within the musical landscape he creates. Chase, a native of Oakland, California began his musical interests around age 5 âMusic was always a part of my everyday life since I can remember, I couldnât imagine existing without it in my lifeâ. Chase began auditioning for school musicals & plays in addition to becoming a member of the world-renowned award winning Love Center Choir in the ministry of Bishop Walter L. Hawkins. Within his high school years Chase discovered an interest in songwriting which in turn served as a canvas for his thoughts and experiences âSongwriting for me is my way to share myself with the listener, itâs like talking to a friend about situations we all can relate toâ.

In 2004, Chase embarked on what would be the beginning of his pursuit of a career in a professional capacity. Chase co-wrote, Co-Produced along with co-collaborator Michael Witwer & Executive Produced his debut project âIntroducingâ¦Chaseâ. The project was a collage of the genres that had influenced Chase as a child to the point of developing his own musical tastes âIntroducingâ¦Chase was the realization of a dream, this project will always be special to me not only for the opportunities it provided but for the people who supported my first endeavor â. Through his debut, Chase developed a loyal underground following as well as given opportunities to perform at various industry showcases, private performances & meet a few of his musical influences âAll of these experiences have prepared me for what God has in his plan, and Iâm thankful everyday for every blessingâ

With the recording and release of Chaseâs sophomore project âThe Smokinâ Roomâ for his True Recordings Group Imprint, Chase has once again worn Co-Production, Writing & Executive Producer hats along with co-collaborators Thomas Cryor & Brandon McFarland to create his latest work. âThe Smokinâ Roomâ Is a blend of Hip-Hop & classic R&B that gives all those who supported âIntroducingâ¦Chaseâ a closer look and listen to the world in which he resides and for those experiencing Chase for the first time the invitation to get to know him âThis is your song was a fun project to create, the process was exciting and creatively differentâ.

Chaseâs musical influences range from Rock to Jazz, Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, Donny & Lalah Hathaway, Beyonceâ Knowles, John Mayer, John Legend, Kanye West, Common, Whitney Houston, Lizz Wright, Sade & Will Downing Are a few of the primary influences that have inspired Chase to create and pursue his passion âMusic is the truly the soundtrack to our lives, it is my hope to obtain a place among those who have made great contributions to the world in which we liveâ
