What Catch Keith Martin in Dubai as he brings you the very best in romantic RnB ballads, including the best-selling hit Because of You that made waves in the US and Asia.

A multi-talented artist, record producer, arranger and singer-songwriter, Martin began his musical journey in the '80s. From humble beginnings he got his first big break with rapper MC Hammer's Please Hammer Don't Hurt ‘Em and Too Legit to Quit world tours. He also worked with Boyz II Men, Buster & Shovani and Grammy award-winning songwriters and producers Marti Sharron and Danny Sembello among others.

In 1995, Martin eventually released his first album, It's Long Overdue at Sony, and was assisted by Michael McCary of Boyz II Men. The album peaked at No. 82 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, while his first single Never Find Someone Like You peaked at No. 53 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2004, Martin joined EMI as its in-house producer and was based in Manila, Philippines. He produced and wrote songs for several local artists, including releasing the albums Not Your Ordinary Girl and Heartfelt for Filipina singer Kyla.

In 2008 he returned to the US and continues to produce songs as chief producer and songwriter for the harper McCALL Rhyme Scene Unit. The 2009 remake of Con Funk Shun's 1981 song California 1 is his latest work.
