This evening, he spends the evening with me talking about the success of his solo debut album “Two Dollars To Ride The Train”, his recent addition to a 3-CD compilation of 'lounge music' in Turkey, his NEW CD and his upcoming tour in the United States and Canada.
SO many exciting things have happened with Martin's solo career in the last two months that have defined him as a 'solo artist' of incredible stature the most exciting of which, being nominated for 2 songs in the Independent Music Awards!
Be sure to join Martin Zarzar and Kenneth Hieber on 'One Voice from Africa ... to the World' for an incredible evening.
