Born on Valentine’s Day in 1987 in Jamaica’s rural community of St. Catherine – Christopher Martin made his mark in 2005 when he won his native country’s top televised talent show competition Digicel Rising Stars. With his tremendous vocal prowess, soaring melodies and proven lyrical ability, he has consistently churned out hit after hit – including “Take My Wings,” “Giving It,” “I’ll Be Your Driver,” “Paper Loving,” “Chill Spot” and “Cheaters Prayer” – on local and international reggae charts. Over the years, Christopher Martin has worked with reggae’s premier producers including Robert Livingston of Big Yard, ZJ Chrome of Chromes label, Shane Brown of Jukeboxx Recordings and Christopher Birch. He has developed a large fanbase abroad, particularly in Europe after his 2012 tour with German reggae artist Gentleman.
The artist, who has claimed his position as a staple on the Jamaican entertainment calendar and is making his way through the European scene, also has a presence in Asia as he recently releases his first self titled album in Japan under the Rockers Island Imprint. We warmly welcome Christopher Martin to Lakesplash Reggae Festival 2014!
