Who is Apollo Night LA ‘Artist of the Week’ A.M.?
Unfailingly, LA based radio show Apollo Night LA (@ApolloNightLA) introduces us to another new voice each week at 7pm PT. This week it’s in the form of RnB crooner A.M.! (@iamAMmusic)
Who is A.M. and what’s he bringing to the table? A.M. says, “I am a real RnB cat, makin real RnB music!”
HEATH “A.M.” MARTIN IS DESCRIBED AS DAVE HOLLISTER MEETS JOE AND R KELLY WITH A LITTLE AARON HALL, ANTHONY HAMILTON AND A SIDE OF GRITS N CORNBREAD… IN OTHER WORDS, A.M. HAS A UNIQUE BLEND OF MANY INFLUENCES TOPPED WITH HIS OWN STYLE CRAFTED THROUGH TRIALS AND STREET HUSTLE. THE PAIN AND SUFFERING OF A.M.’S PAST IS ALSO APPARENT IN HIS STYLE, GIVING THAT EDGY SOUND IT’S OWN LIFE FORCE, THUS CREATING REAL LIFE – MUSIC…..”Vintage” coming soon!
Quote: “I have been blessed in my life to work with and be mentored by some of the legends of the game as well as many of my heroes. From H-Town, Silk, Jodeci, SHAI, Playa and BoyzllMen to Aaliyah and countless others but this is MY time… Real music is back”
From the outside looking in, who is A.M?
A.M. is a lover, a fighter, a friend, a father and a good man. I love deep, fight for whats mine and I’m mad stubborn so I never give up. A.M. also represents me as a real person, 2 of my 3 initials are “A.M.” as in Anthony Martin, as in first to rise n grind and last to go to sleep… up early A.M. and stay up to the early A.M.
What brought you to the entertainment industry, music specifically?
I have been sangin since i could form words, out of all the uncertainties in life, music was never one of them. I was told once that if I wake up one day and all I can think about is music? thats what im supposed to be doing. that has been since day 1.
Tell us about your current project and your ApolloNightLA “Artist of the Week” winning single “Without You.”
Without You is my winning single off the debut EP of the same title, it is RnB in its purest form…a love song about betrayal and change “Shes the reason why Im better off without you…”
For new listeners, what song of yours would you pick as an introduction to you?
The first single off my EP “Without You” the record that won me “Artist of the Week” is a perfect intro as I am a real RnB cat, makin real RnB music!
Last but not least, HYPE wants to know…What’s your CRAZIEST “Where they do that at?!” moment…
I was doing a show in LA and there was a female that had been tryna talk to me the whole time, she was doin suggestive dance moves and pointing to her goodies while lookin dead at me etc… after the show, she musta followed us back to the hotel and started bangin on my door, akin me to get her preggo… shit was crazy, i looked out the peephole and she had her breast all on the peeper… ahhaaaaa that was wild, hotel security removed her.
