The project
TOGETHER, WE CAN PUT DEREK MARTIN BACK IN THE SPOT LIGHT !
We are a group of 6 ISCOM students who fell in love with the voice of « Happy » from C2C. While looking for the singer, we found out it was created by Derek Martin and were deeply moved by his extraordinary personal history.
He started life in 1938 in a ghetto in Detroit, MI (USA) and life brought him all the way to Paris where he lives today.
"And we see the flame in young people eyes,
When we see light in old people ones"
Victor Hugo
STRENGTH ABOVE ALL ELSE
Born in the heart of the segregation era, Derek Martin never let animosity get in his way. As long as he can remember, he has always been inhabited by a deeper force : Music.Even if you prefer rock and roll, jazz, rap, or classical music, you can not help but be moved by his voice, coming from the soul and gospel tradition, he has the ability to touch everyone who hears him and his voice has the ability of delivering a cultural message of fraternity.
If you can support our Crowdfunding !
Initiative to boost good vibes around him...
Thank you in advance ...
