Singer, songwriter, guitarist, drummer, bassist, engineer, producer, Chip Martin wears many hats well. He cut his teeth on the classic pop sounds of the 60's- the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and other British invasion bands as well as American performers like the great Motown acts. Later it was the sounds of bands like the Eagles, Crosby Stills and Nash, and America that caught the attention of the already traveling singer-songwriter. Chip formed his first band at the age of 12 and has been on stage ever since playing in rock and country-rock groups from Maine to Miami.
In the late 70's, Chip turned his talents toward songwriting, and to date has over 300 songs in his catalog. He has an RIAA certified gold record for his song "Forget About Love" recorded by country star Mark Wills, has a song that is the title track ("Love Me or Leave Me Alone") on Randy Meisner's (formerly of The Eagles) latest CD, a tune placed on Billy Paul's record "Wide Open" (of "Me and Mrs. Jones" fame), and a cut by Grand Ole Opry star Billy Dean. The song that Billy Dean recorded was used on the popular Turner Broadcasting TV Show "Live at the Bluebird Cafe" shot here in Nashville at the famous songwriter venue.
Chip is currently working with Kyle Lehning, producer of Randy Travis, Bryan White, Restless Heart, and many more, on a co-venture producing up-and-coming artists in Nashville. Chip and Kyle produced a project for Matt Kennon and pitched to labels. As a result, James Stroud signed Matt to Stroudavarius Records. Chip continues pre-production for Matt's upcoming album, on which he will co-produce and play guitar.
Chip is a voting member and has served on the Board of Governors of NARAS (the Grammy Organization), is active in the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), and is on the Board of Advisors for the Georgia Music Industry Association.
