Chad Martini

Chad Martinez is a singer/songwriter from Orange County, CA. Martinez' first time picking up a guitar was at the age of 13. He was taught three chords and within a few months had already started writing songs. By the age of 17, Martinez had formed a duo Indie Rock band with friend and band member Kellen Williams called Honest Abraham. Martinez on Vocals/Guitar, Williams on Bass and Devin Berry on the drums. Honest Abraham performed live for the first time ever on July 7th, 2007. Martinez and Williams continued the band for a while until they all ended up moving due to certain changes. By 2008, Martinez came back to Orange County and started performing solo. In 2009, Martinez became highly influenced by reggae music, which is what gives him that mellow groove and soulful hype in his original alternative sound.. After playing shows and getting acquainted with a band named Motavation from Lake Forest, CA. Martinez fell into a whole new name. They all started calling him Chad Martini and it just seemed to stick. In 2009, Martinez and Williams started collaborating once more and continued creating music that influenced them both throughout the years. Sadly Williams passed away Nov 28th, 2011. Martinez continued songwriting and performing at many places including Bradstock Music Festival where he reconnected with long-time friend Kevin Martin and John Safari. Safari and Martin introduced Martinez to the Orange County Music League (OCML) where they and a community of musicians stand up against Pay to Play. OCML introduced Martinez to many other musicians, which came to form the band with drummer Sam Golf and James Ochoa on bass. After a few shows they are looking to record their first EP as a band which should be done by the beginning of 2016. Martinez will be coming out with a full length acoustic album at the end of this year.
