SHAUN MARTIN [http://www.shaunmartinmusic.com/]
Shaun Martin releases his third album, "Three-O" featuring Matt Ramsey and Mike
Mitchell
Multiple Grammy Award winner Shaun Martin is well known for his work with Kirk
Franklin and as a key member of Snarky Puppy, his creative stamp can be heard on
projects with musical legends Chaka Khan, Erykah Badu, Fred Hammond, Tamela
Mann, Kim Burrell, God’s Property, and more.
In 2015 Martin unveiled his debut album - 7Summers - to widespread acclaim,
following up with a more succinct album of his Jazz piano work - Focus. His next
album, Three-O, is scheduled for release on November 13, 2020, and features the
tight but explosive combination of Martin on keys, Matt Ramsey (Kirk Franklin)
on Bass, and Mike Mitchell (Stanley Clarke, Spirit Fingers) on Drums. Three
world class players with a wide variety of performance experience and musical
knowledge, three friends who share a vibrant excitement for music and the world.
‘Three-O stretches more to the synthesized, creative side, but still keeps the
fundamentals of the traditional trio with thumping bass lines and powerful
drumming to compliment’ (Shaun Martin)
A native of Dallas, Texas, Shaun Martin’s prodigious gift was noticed and
nurtured at an early age; he began playing the drums and piano at the age of
four. His mother placed him under the tutelage of Carolyn Campbell, who taught
him to read and write music. By the age of five he was playing the piano and
organ at church.
The supportive and musically rich Dallas community continued to nurture him, and
he it - he joined God’s Property in 1993, leading to a Grammy and a long time
working relationship with Kirk Franklin. As a music major at the University of
North Texas, he joined fellow students in the ‘soon’ to be award winning, chart
topping jazz fusion band Snarky Puppy, joining them on the road and in the
studio as they forged a new independent path to success.
In constant demand, Shaun is currently working on multiple projects with his
long term goal of creating a fine arts academy to continue the circle of musical
nourishment that thrives on the Dallas scene.
