When speaking about his recent Winter Olympics performance, Martin expressed the following:

“Playing the Olympic Closing Ceremony was extra special to me. I got inspired to get started with electronic music because I saw Tiësto play the 2004 Olympics. I can only hope and dream that my performance will inspire others like Tiësto’s inspired me.”

With his Future Bass works gaining apt recognition and accolades, his latest collaboration with Brooks and David Guetta, ‘Like I Do‘, also has the potential to attain Platinum status, after the track reached #1 on the Future House chart just 2 days after its release and currently sits at #6 on Beatport’s overall chart.
