When she was just 9 years old, Martinique wrote her first song.  By the age of 16, she had caught the writing "bug" and could be found scribbling down song ideas every spare moment.  She realized then that her future would be music. 

Following her high school graduation, she began her professional career playing in clubs, bars and piano lounges in her hometown of Vancouver.  When she first started out, Martinique had to lie about her age (as she was under-age).  By her early 20's, Martinique was a sought after pianist/vocalist.  Over the years she has supplemented her musical knowledge with a variety of music courses, including jazz improvisation. 

In addition to her work in the finest piano lounges, Martinique was also the featured vocalist in various show bands, which work resulted in her first professional recording - an EP.   She then went on a 3 month tour of Japan playing a variety of venues. 

But even with all her performing and recording, Martinique's love of songwriting never died.  She continued to write regularly and recorded several demos of her best songs.  One of these demos resulted in her winning a local songwriting contest which led to a co-writing gig with Peter McCann, a very successful staff song writer with EMI.  The resultant song, "One Hell at a Time", was later published by EMI.

Martinique's new CD, "Tangled Web of Cool", is the culmination of her musical work to date.  She is very excited about this new release and hopes that its music and words will capture the imagination of a new world of listeners.    .
