"“I MAKE MUSIC BECAUSE I HAVE TO, I CAN’T HELP IT” — Part of the reason why we are creative is because we understand the human desire to make a connection to something or someone; we know that this is what life is about.

Magic happened when I sat down to chat with Coco Martin — when I asked her how she was doing and who she was, she lit up. The Denver-based musician oozed with a passion that sent goosebumps down my arms. Martin told me that she is a nanny, a student, an optimist, and a gardener. She’s an artist, and believes that holding on to our humanity through art is the one thing that we do right in this world.

Martin picked up a guitar and played it until her fingers bled at a young age. She was determined to figure out how the instrument worked and fell in love with the catharsis that is experienced when creating music. She began writing songs in high school to help her deal with the fear of death, existentialism, and to process emotions and experiences. In becoming her own muse, Martin learned to use music to tell a story and help people feel seen.

“Music is a powerful tool,” Martin said. “I know how helpful it can be for other people.”

At the very core of her foundation, Martin is a musician.

A bass player for the Denver pop-punk band Knuckle Pups, for the last few months, she has been finding her footing as frontwoman in her new project, Gartener. The name pays homage to both her Austrian roots and her love for gardening, Martin explained." ---LUNA Magazine
