Badder Jadd
“Family first, by choice—not birth. We brothers. We strong.”
I brought Mike home and asked Mom if he could stay the night. She read the room immediately, understood that ‘the night’ might be open-ended and made room for him without asking him to explain himself.

About MarTinman
Built from the real stuff.
MarTinman turns lived experience into rhythm.
Built from East L.A. roots, Brisbane nights, family stories, old mates, lowrider spirit, and soul that has been through a few things, the MarTinman Songbook is less a collection of singles and more a map of a life.
The sound moves through funk, soul, old-school rhythm, hip-hop, disco, mariachi, rock and low-slung grooves—but the center stays the same: real stories, real people, real rhythm.
