“ST. JOSEPH - Watching Erin Martin's YouTube video for her song "Come Together," it's hard to believe that the Berrien Springs native ever wanted to be anything other than a musician. "I always played the piano and I always wrote little songs, but I never took it seriously because I wanted to be a model," the 27-year-old says by telephone from her home in Chicago. "Modeling was fun, and I made way more money than I should have for putting different clothes on for three hours. When you're 17, that's like a dream." Since trading the runway for a stage, Martin has performed at Chicago's Summerfest and Lollapalooza, opened for De La Soul and "American Idol" finalist Amanda Overymeyer, and was featured on the Roy Davis Jr. track "I Have a Vision," which reached No. 3 on the UK dance charts. On Saturday, she returns to Southwest Michigan to perform at the Box Factory for the Arts for the first time. ”
