Our Founder

Martin-X

With a career spanning more than 17 years in singing, songwriting, arranging, and composing, Martin-X is a virtuoso who plays multiple instruments, including piano, keyboards, and drums, mastering music both from memory and by ear.

A Journey of Transformation

Born Martin R. Hardy in St. Louis and later migrating to Los Angeles, Martin-X’s journey is one of redemption and profound change. Amidst early challenges, including struggles with addiction and multiple incarcerations, it was the support from his brother and the community at “Positive Directions Equals Change” that transformed his life.
