"Explosive & unique! G John Martin's Black Ice is superbly at one of his best stretches of fine R&B music ever recorded" - Urban Music Scene
About the Artist:
R&B/contemporary jazz vocalist G John Martin, born in Detroit, Michigan, USA, is an artist who personifies art with unified melodies manifested with balance, life and wisdom. Martin's musical journey began with the discovery of the bass guitar at the age of seven. By age twelve, he was writing and producing his own and formed a local band. Additionally, he taught himself drums and guitar before developing a unique vocal style that would mark the beginning of his musical career.
Martin's professional journey began at age eleven during a visit to Hollywood. He quickly caught the ear of performer James Mitchell of the "Detroit Emeralds," who offered him a role in the development of musical pieces for several projects including his first tour. With Mitchell's encouragement, Martin quickly moved to study music and began what would become a long history of music production with groups like 7 Mile under the Sony label. World tours would also include the likes of Earl Klugh/George Benson, After 7, Clark Sisters, Universal Nubian Voices (UNV) opening the "The Madonna Girlie Tour" and Japan's Speed, Anri, Yuki Kokanagi and Ken Hirai, just to name a few.
Within the next ten years, G John Martin felt the pressures and practices of the music business overshadowed his passion of music. Deciding he would no longer work under the influences of corporate ideals and demands, he chose to quiet himself, find spiritual solace and honor his soul. This led him to Japan, a culture based on divination and order. Martin transformed his career into a company venture - JP Entertainment & Nitram Records.
"My life is music. I was a singer when I was born and remain a singer today," said Martin.
The self-titled CD, Black Ice, marks the solo debut for this R&B singer. The CD is available for sale in Japan and world-wide via CDBaby.com.

A premature baby declared dead by doctors was found to be alive hours later when he was taken home for a funeral wake.
The baby’s father, Jose Alvarenga, was told by doctors that his son had died shortly after birth.
Staff from the state-run hospital in Asuncion, the Paraguayan
capital, delivered the infant’s body to Mr Alvarenga’s home fours hours
later.
Shortly afterwards, the grieving father opened the baby’s coffin to bid an emotional farewell to his son.
“I opened it to look at his remains and found that the baby was breathing,” Mr Alvarenga said. “I began to cry.”
He rushed back to the hospital with his unnamed baby in his arms and nurses placed the infant in an oxygen chamber.
He is now reported to be in a stable condition.
“This is a very unusual case,” said Ernesto Weber, head of pediatric intensive care at the hospital.
He acknowledged that the doctor handling the case did not properly
check the infant’s vital signs, and said an investigation would be
carried out. I thank He Needs to talk to GOD the Doctor of all Doctors.
