Martin Wright

From the tender age of 15, Martin spent most of his youth spinning both 7” and 12” vinyl on a pair of converted Realistic belt drive turntables. He realised at that age that this misspent childhood was a passion that was going to become more than just a hobby.

 

His first real opportunity arose at the age of 21, when he decided to go traveling with Hong Kong his first pit stop. Here he met and became very good friends with Lee Burridge, and together both worked at various venues in Hong Kong . A DJ agency – ‘Innova’, specialising in Asian contracts approached and offered work to Martin in Singapore and Indonesia . After two years, in 1993, and after returning to Birmingham it was time to hit the club scene at home.

  

It was only a short time before Martin gained residencies at credible clubs such as Bakers, Toots and Liberty ’s . Throughout his long career in the DJ scene, he has gained experience in all areas of the field, and has adapted his style to a current flavour of vocal house with slices of Latin & Jazz. Martin presently DJ’s in his hometown of Birmingham for the likes of Miss Moneypenny’s, fuel and Promise at Club Hidden. He regularly guests also at various other clubs around the country to include, Blend in Derby, The Loftin Maidstone, Kinky Malinki at Pacha and SoundsHeavenly to name a few.

 

In 2000, Martin became Music Editor for 69 Magazine – A credible Midlands lifestyle publication.
