ABOUT
Martin Paul Cuthew is a seasoned singer/guitarist and songwriter with over 20 years and 700 gigs worth of experience. He's played all over London and the South-East, highlights being performances at the Queen’s Golden Jubilee celebrations and at the acclaimed Greenbelt Festival.
His influences, ranging from Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins and Biffy Clyro to Pink Floyd, Oasis and Coldplay, have shaped his soulful acoustic-rock sound. His debut EP ‘Erosion & Evolution’ was acclaimed by KMS Reviews as an “outstanding emotional work”, blending introspective lyrics with vibrant sonic textures. Martin's repertoire spans 60 years of classic covers alongside his original compositions, which he brings to life on stage with a stompbox, backing beats and live-looping.
While maintaining a presence in South-East England's live music scene, Martin has been building a global online audience with his "Acoustic Sessions" YouTube series, garnering over 50k views. He recently released new original song, ‘Up To Us To Learn’, a cautionary pop-rock fable about muddling through life, realising the need to adapt or risk being left behind. The track is available on all major streaming platforms and at www.martinpaulcuthew.com/original-music. He will follow this up later in the year with further releases and an appearance at the D’Oyly Carte Summer Concerts festival.
