King Martin

Olympian. World Champion Sprinter. Navy Veteran. Now, owner of King Martin Music Group LLC. King Martin, a Las Vegas native, attended University of South Carolina on a full athletic track scholarship. He became an All-American and record holder before running professionally for Nike. He obtained the gold medal running on the USA 4×100m relay team and obtained Olympic honors running in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. After a successful track career, King Martin served his country in the United States Navy, becoming Navy Sailor of the Year for his command. He was honorably discharged from the Navy and joined the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department, simultaneously earning a Master's degree from University of Southern California. King Martin's true calling is music. As a natural poet, his lyrical style compels the listener to experience his joys, hurts and pains through his music. He rhymes about true-life experiences ranging from losing friends and family in horrendous tragedies to the internal conflicts of being a law enforcement professional in a racist system. He started King Martin Music Group to provide opportunities for musicians pursuing music to live their dreams. He has signed nine artists and five music producers to King Martin Music Group.
