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 2006 & 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. Ive 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 Link: www.studiomaster.com/ Biography Anglo/Australian Andy Martin resides in Germany but his music lives an international life of its own.

A sound-clip is permanently on AiiRs website & the song is in the stations Hall Of Fame. This track is from his Number 1 CD album & a second track, WATERFRONT STREET also hit number one for him at AiiRadio. On February 10th 2005, the day before the CDs 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.

Band/artist history
Andy Martin is a songwriter/producer/performer with a huge catalog (more than 300 songs!) of original Rock/Pop & MOR/AOR material. He has performed in venues such as Sun City in Southern Africa and was the resident musician/entertainer at Stringfellows Nightclub in Covent Garden, London in 1994-95. Other prestige UK venues where Andy has appeared include Blazers Club in Windsor (3 times) and at the invitation of Baronet Sir Dai Llewellyn to perform at his London club 'The Embassy' in Knightsbridge. AWARDS: He has won several awards for his songwriting. These include a SARIE nomination for his No.15 single PERFECT SIGNS b/w BLUE GUITAR (MINC/EMI 1985) and 1st place in the Australian annual World Pater Awards (1992) sponsored by Radio Australia, Mushroom Records and The Victorian Rock Foundation based in Melbourne. In the UK, Andy was the outright winner of the 2CR Radio 'Starsearch' contest - the finals being held at the Bournemouth Winter Gardens in front of a capacity audience. He had no hesitation in performing one of his own songs 'GO NOW' and this performance secured him 1st place. In 1985 he wrote the radio jingle for Canadian Pacific Airways and in 1994 scored 2 album cuts in Australia on the Sony/Columbia and Mushroom/Festival labels. One of these songs, 'Heart Don't Break' was chosen and produced in Sydney by Garth Porter, ex-keyboard player of the 70's hit group 'Sherbet' (who scored an international No.1 record with their song 'Howzat').
