A family myth says that Martha was already singing before she could speak. And that sounds less surprising when you know that her mother was already a singing teacher before Martha could make her first sound.

She has been singing in her mother Justine's ensembles and choirs for as long as she can remember. Justine gave her work a home in 2015 and founded the Academy for Choir and Music Theater in Düsseldorf. 
Martha's most influential works, both musically and technically, include the Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda by Gustav Holst and the motet Jesu meine Freude by Johann Sebastian Bach. Other pieces, such as the opera Pollicino by Hans-Werner-Henze, sharpened her absolute pitch.

She sang in various vocal ensembles, including an a cappella quartet, and received classical singing lessons. 

She played the violin from the age of 5 to 16 with many successes in the relevant youth competitions, which she truly disliked due to their comparative classical corset. She was expected to study the violin. Instead, she played music and improvisational theater at the Junges Schauspielhaus Düsseldorf and sang in her school's jazz band. Later, she chose to study interdisciplinary (economics, political & cultural studies) to understand and shape society's transformation to more sustainability.

As she never really felt at home in classical music, although it was and is fundamental to Martha's intellectual and emotional education, she took singing lessons at the Complete Vocal Institute (Copenhagen) in her early twenties and finally found the technique for the sound she always had in her ear. Rnb and jazz were always part of her expression, and at some point neoclassical music found its way into her life.

She admires Nils Frahm for his tearing, tender and eternal sound whose unbearable intensity results in transcendence, Beyoncé for re-inventing her warm vocals over and over again, Rosalía for the genius changes in rhythm and energy, James Blake for a new genre of love songs full of poetic lyrics, and Ólafur Arnalds for creating atmospheres that feel like nature itself.

Today she is part of the duo fusión nova and merges bossa nova, hispanic contemporary and jazz with her soul guitarist Alexander von Schlieffen.
