The link above will take you to the new song OCEAN DEEP which I wrote originally for AIR SUPPLY. Their management replied to me after hearing the song that they don't record songs by other writers, so I may decide to release it myself in iTunes, or I might look for another artiste for this particular song. I think it would suit artistes like Brian Kennedy, Simon Webbe, Will Young, Westlife or Ronan Keating! Watch this space for any news! You never know!

The link above will take you to the song HEART DON'T BREAK as recorded by Roy Orbison stylist MARTY PENROSE in Australia. The song is included on his debut album, which we are hoping will be ready for release soon!

Andy Martin & Studiomaster mixing desks:
Andy Martin
is an Anglo/Australian singer-songwriter-producer with a long history
of association with Studiomaster. His first Studiomaster mixer was a
SessionMix 8:2. Not only does he continue to use his Studiomaster Gold
8:2 rackmount mixing deck, he recently purchased a C3X unit from
Studiomaster to complement his existing system for portability & TV
studio use. Andy is an independent artist & very much a part of the new music business with a page 1 Google & Yahoo listing, a BBC UK listing
& is a published songwriter. 2005 saw the release of his first
independent CD (Intervals) which is now distributed worldwide &
gave rise to 6 independent No.1 internet chart placings!
His
second album will be completed during 2010 & Andy will be making
the most of his Studiomaster mixers on the road & anywhere else
live & recorded applications demand the best performance. For this,
Andy counts on Studiomaster:
"The mixer is a vital element at
the heart of my sound & I rely on Studiomaster mixers to give me
unparalleled performance in any situation - no compromises, only pure
sound with the emphasis on reliability, compatibilty & quality as
well as aftersales care if required. I trust Studiomaster & give
their products my seal of approval. I've toured with it, flown it -
you name it, it does the job unfailingly & Studiomaster has an
elegant & marvellous history. It knows what artists need, from Phil
Collins to thousands of other satisifed clients working in many areas
of the industry. Can there be any better recommendation?" - Andy Martin
Anglo/Australian Andy Martin resides in Germany but his music lives an international life of its own. His success has come with ROCKIN' ON THE AIRWAVES through the London internet station www.AiiRadio.net where the track was twice listener voted number one in late 2004. A sound-clip is permanently on AiiR's website & the song is in the station's Hall Of Fame. This track is from his Number 1 CD album & a second track, WATERFRONT STREET also hit number number one for him at AiiRadio.
On February 10th 2005, the day before the CD's official launch, a 3rd
single from the CD (STAY - a duet featuring Hollie Bourne) also went to
number one, virtually guaranteeing that this album has made some form
of musical history in the "independently released" retail sector.
A
hot CD review by Peter Sarstedt (writer of WHERE DO YOU GO TO MY
LOVELY) was followed by radio playlisting on many FM stations in the
Netherlands & ROCKIN' ON THE AIRWAVES being featured on Olon Mega Top 50, a radio promotional compilation. The rock classic power ballad
CAN'T LOVE NO MORE is off the INTERVALS CD & is available through
the Cdbaby & Tower Records catalogues. Registered with Soundscan,
INTERVALS is Andy's latest CD & complete with UPC barcode, is a
ready & definite winner to hit the shop shelves.
Andy was
represented at MIDEM 2005 by Australian Music Marketing Abroad &
was featured in the center of the A&R magazine plus 2 tracks on the
MIDEM compilation disc: Print run 8,000 units available to Midem

Today is Mother Day, So I hope you will allow me to post this for all mothers you have as friends or fans.
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero I am strong and wise and I know no fear But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I want to be In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes Everyone is equal Darkness turns to light And the world is at peace This miracle God gave to me Gives me strength when I'm weak I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger Oh it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart Is had enough It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up I've seen the light It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am And what we'll be And though she'll grow and someday leave Maybe raise a family When I'm gone I hope you'll see How happy she made me For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes
