Alex Martin

UNDRGRND Issue 5 “The Central Coast”

Alex Martin (real name Julian Alexander Martin) is a 32-year-old hip-hop/R&B artist born and raised in Chicago. He attended Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he graduated with a bachelor’s of science degree in engineering, with a concentration in mechanical engineering. After moving to Los Angeles in 2019 for his work, Martin linked up with popular audio engineer Big Rula, and has collabed on an unreleased track with Miami-based artist Rarri.

Considering he is somewhat new to making music—Martin says he’s only been taking his rap career seriously since he moved to California—he is making quick progress. His SoundCloud page displays a variety of tracks that show off his melodic flair and vintage R&B lyrics, and he has become a fan-favorite performer at recent UNDRGRND events. Martin has also used his savvy networking abilities to get his songs played by DJs in LA’s popular nightclubs. Looking forward, he promises three more singles and a music video in the near future.
