Ivo Martin | Sonnenuntergang Tour 2024 | Karlstorbahnhof Heidelberg

In the organizer's words:

"When you're in love," Ivo Martin breathes in falsetto on his first single, "you don't need a word". And indeed, all it took was a few chords and a few vocal harmonies for the aspiring pop artist to win the hearts of the TikTok community. Using individual catchphrases sent to him by his fans, Ivo Martin writes entire stories with an acoustic guitar and an almost inexhaustible pool of ideas, which he then packs into songs. The short videos not only demonstrate Ivo Martin's flair for harmony and composition, but also his impressive skills as a clever songwriter with a special talent for strong images and approachable storytelling.

The 20-year-old actually had completely different plans: after graduating from high school, Ivo Martin applied to study music business at the Mannheim Pop Academy. But during the admissions interview, he was told: "You don't belong here - you're an artist!" So Ivo Martin decided to accept the challenge. All the signs had always pointed to pop stardom for him. Growing up near the old capital Bonn, his father provided early musical education, the Beatles played at home and Queen's "A Night at the Opera" in the car - Ivo Martin's favorite album to this day. At the age of six he was sent to guitar lessons, eleven years later the ambitious newcomer released his own compositions for the first time and already attracted some attention. By signing with Epic Records Germany, Ivo Martin is aiming for a new start.

The guitar in the spotlight, accompanied by organic instrumentation with brilliant pop moments and delicate experiments - this is how the sound over which Ivo Martin's head voice floats can be characterized. And his captivating way of telling everyday stories paired with overwhelming emotions inevitably transports the audience into Ivo Martin's very own world. A world that is held together by powerful emotions and a love of musical detail. Ivo Martin is already a star there.
