Born in Brussels, Belgium in 1973, Zeke Martin entered the world with a pair of drumsticks in his hands. As child, he had a strong appreciation for diverse musical styles such as Jazz, Funk, Reggae and Rock, and was heavily influenced by his father, the late Stu Martin, who played with Jazz royalty including Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Charles Mingus, Dave Holland and Quincy Jones to name a few. Now known for his own drumming chops and unique style, Zeke Martin has carved out his own musical path which has led him to create a fresh funk-jazz style that he explores with his band on "The Zeke Martin Project 4" which just won Best Jazz CD at the New England Music Awards. When Zeke and his band join Julie to share their music, it's a hip funky-farm thang.
