Sound Arts – Guest Speaker
Martin Luther McCoyGuitarist, Singer, Songwriter, & Actor

Martin Luther McCoy, guitarist, singer and songwriter, made his acting debut with the role of Jo-Jo in Julie Taymor’s (2007 Sony Pictures/Revolution Studios release) Across The Universe.

Recording under the name Martin Luther, his latest album, Rebel Soul Music, was released in September 2004 to much critical acclaim. The Associated Press named it number 4 on its Top Ten Albums of 2004 and People Magazine named it a “Critic’s Choice,” rating the album 3.5 out of 4 stars. He was the first independent artist given the privilege of recording a performance session for MTV Live on MTV.com. He was also named the VH1.com “You Oughta Know” artist on 2 separate occasions. His music video for the single Daily Bread debuted on the VH1 Soul network and was in their top-10 rotation for four months.

Martin has performed hundreds of shows since the album’s release, traveling with his band throughout the US, Europe and Japan. He has toured as a solo artist on the same bill as Jill Scott and The Roots and Don’t miss this special perfomance/lecture has also performed for audiences numbering in the thousands as a featured member of The Roots.

Like the legend for whom he was named, Martin Luther was raised on a diet of choir hymns and stringent rules set forth by strict, religious parents. As a youngster, he was forced to take traditional piano lessons so that he could one day play in church. Exposure to the psychedelic sounds of Parliament Funkadelic by his brother set him on the path to finding his own voice as an artist. Continuing to play the keyboard, he added the drums to his musical arsenal and finally mastered his secret weapon — the guitar.

A native of San Francisco, Martin Luther is a graduate of Morehouse College, with a degree in Media Arts and a concentration in Entertainment Law and Marketing.

Martin Luther is currently finishing his third album, “Serial Thriller,” with an expected release in 2008.
