While working on the Ghetto Lingo albums, producer D'Rex interested Martin in a solo album and he is now an accomplished singer, actor, performer and songwriter who had a solo album nominated for a SAMA Award in 2008.

He also acted on the e.tv soapie Backstage, appeared on Channel O and presented Bibo on SABC2.
