I’d say my greatest idols are Va n Go h, Ma net, Picasso, Basquiat, Cy T wo mbly, A ndy War hol, Ceza n ne, Matisse. I t hi nk it’s pretty all over t he place wit h w he n I was exposed to t he m.

Marti nez a nd his ba nd mate L uis B ue nrostro met i n a m usic prod uctio n class at Fullerto n College i n 2 015 a nd bo nded over t heir love of m usic a nd T he Beatles. Soo n after meeti ng t heir ba nd T he Red Leslies was for med.

As Marti nez co nti n ues to j uggle his priorities a nd as his ba nd gro ws, not hi ng has hi ndered his creative spirit. W hile t he ba nd takes a break fro m playi ng live s ho ws, his mi nd is n’t taki ng a break fro m t he creative process.
