Singer/Songwriter 
Pop, R&B, Contemporary



London born Singer-Songwriter, Martinique X, is an artist that creates contemporary, Pop/R&B music inspired by the soulful singers of the 90s era including Lauren Hill, Sade, Gwen Stefani, Aaliyah and Mariah Carey. Her love of music started in her youth after growing up in a creative household - her mother was an artist and her father; a DJ. She entered her first talent competition when she was 7 years old where she came first place for "originality" performing her own composition. Since then Martinique X has worked on her craft, attending Camden performing arts school on an advanced scholarship in vocals, whilst working alongside Roundhouse's emerging artist programme, and in 2016, she completed her performing arts studies at the British Institute of Modern Music. 

Martinique X has recorded in the studio with multiple award winning producers including David Brant (Misteeq/Craig David), experimenting with different genres that represent her British roots, including DubStep and Garage, as well as Pop/R&B/Soul. Over the last few years, Martinique X has been composing music behind the scenes for synching divisions within different labels including Universal Publishing UK. 

Martinique X is now working on a new EP for a release late next year 

Influences: Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah, Sade, Etta James, Outcast, Mariah Carey, Jhene Aiko, Drake, Sabrina Claudio, Nas, Gwen Stefani, Nat King Cole, Tori Kelly and Sarah Cassidy.
