Josh Martinez is a machine. A well-oiled, straight-talking, globetrotting sex-machine. Having traveled the world more than the avian flu, Martinez has built himself a devout following, addicted to his hopeful perspective, joie-de-vive and a live show that brings the heat like a Catholic school girl in a confession booth.

The Martinez live show has been the bread and butter, the engine that has pushed the lifestyle’s growth at an incredible clip. Touring worldwide, he has played 200 shows a year for the last ten years. As an entertainer, Martinez is in the upper echelons of the business, bringing a confidence, urgency and a comedic touch that has converted disbelievers and brought houses down, rocked to their very foundation.

The Martinez experience consists of three separate projects: the solo Josh Martinez catalog,with six full lengths under the belt, The Chicharones , featuring Sleep of Oldominion and two full albums, and his rock band, The Pissed Off Wild , which is in the final stages of mixing their debut album. Having sold 100,000 copies of his body of work, Martinez has been at it since you were just a pup, a dirty glimmer in the mailman’s eye. Award-winning, quoted in college seminars, and creeping up from the underground like rats in the sewers, Martinez brand of music is instantly identifiable and entirely unique.
