In the artist's words:

Guitar chords accompanied by an electronic pulse and a gentle voice singing beautifully sentimental lyrics. This is Ivo Martin.

The up-and-coming indie artist from Bornheim serves up love, melancholy and pain in his songs. With his haunting voice and honest lyrics, the music goes straight to the heart. When the chords get louder and Ivo Martin sings the words from his soul full of emotion, no foot remains still and no heart remains empty.

The foundations for the young artist's success were laid early on. His father introduced him to music at a young age, played him The Beatles and showed Ivo Martin what is now his favorite Queen album "A Night at the Opera". At the age of 6, Ivo Martin began to learn the guitar and later to compose. His first songs were in English, but the artist quickly realized that his talent for storytelling and beautiful phrasing produced more profound lyrics in German. In 2019, aged just 17, he performed at the SPH Music Masters youth music competition and made it through to the regional final. A few years later, it took nothing more than Ivo Martin's talent for lyrics and chords to sing his way into the hearts and minds of many TikTok users. The artist began filming himself sitting next to people on park benches, asking them for catchphrases and improvising songs that could have been written by a team of songwriters. After the musician was rejected for the music business course at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg, his debut single "Verliebt" was released in 2022. This earned him a contract with the music label "Epic Records Germany". After this first major success, Ivo Martin moved to Berlin to continue working on his music career. In 2022 and 2023, the artist released several singles and finally his debut album "Puls" in 2024. It reached number 33 in the German charts.
