Bio of a true musician - Chris Austin Martinez

 

       

For the true musician, music is a part of their soul.  It is in their blood, in their heart, and always on their minds.  It is their life. 

For Chris, music has always been and always will be who he is.  A friend who has known Chris since they were young boys once said of him, “ Chris could dance before he could walk and sing before he could talk.  He was born with drum sticks in his hands.” 

It took a tragic event in Chris' life to make him realize that life is much to short to not be doing the things that you truly love.  He refocused in his thirties and got started on his life passion, music.   Some may have considered him “a bit too old” to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, but it

  didn't stop Chris from doing what he was meant to do...sing!  Being an independent artist fits Chris just fine.  He gets the freedom of singing and playing anything and anywhere he wants! As Chris puts it, “ The large crowds are great but put me in front of a small group of people who really appreciate live music and It just doesn’t get any better.”

He has shared the stage with such acts as Roger Creager, Johnny Rodriquez, Hank Williams III, and country music legend Ray Price.  Chris can be found playing and singing all over this great state of ours, Texas.

Chris has recorded five CD’s to date and has entertained for such events as small intimate weddings to some of our states largest festivals.
