MARTIN CARDY

I am an independent songwriter based in the UK with over 40 years experience in the music business. 

It all started in the 80's with the unforgettable experience of playing in a great little band 'Protocol' with my brother Daz. The memories of playing in our dining room, driving our sister Debbie to despair with our late night melodies, to the gigs and youthful dreams of stardom were times never to be forgotten.

From the moment I picked up an instrument, a career in music was my ambition. Prominent musical achievements within the industry include; roles as a music school Principal, a content creator and consultant for music examination boards, a musical director and songwriter for various independent artists and bands.

My new album is dedicated to keeping the authentic spirit of christmas music alive. Driven by a passion for rich storytelling and grand arrangements, I have written and composed this ambitious 14 track album. By blending timeless instrumentation-from sweeping choral harmonies, to driving rock rhythms to emotional ballads with deeply personal lyricism, I have strived to create a unique musical experience that feels instantly classic yet thorougly fresh. 

This album is my heartfelt invitation, for you to step out of the winter cold and into a warm, family celebration of the christmas season.
