By the time he relocated to London, Pete Martin had written over 15 No 1’s and countless top 10’s becoming one of South Africa’s most sought after multi- platinum selling producer/songwriters.

Pete also produced the song which featured on Spike Lee’s movie “Chi - Raq”. He has previously ventured into the film world, working at Remote Control, Hans Zimmer's studio in L.A,  remixing and lending his distinctive edgy style to movie soundtracks.
