As a child prodigy, Martin gained the interest of talk show host Jay Leno, who presented him with a scholarship and later purchased his first professional horn. He transferred to Locke High School, to study under Reggie Andrews, where he became first chair of the All-State Jazz Band. At 13, producing his first tracks on his Casio CZ-101 Keyboard and an E-mu SP-1200, Martin was encouraged to take up the saxophone and learned to play it by himself before enrolling into Santa Monica High School, to sharpen his musical skills. He grew up listening to a broad range of music, including John Coltrane and Parliament and began playing the piano at age six. Martin's father, Ernest "Curly" Martin, is a jazz drummer and Omaha Black Music Hall of Fame member, and his mother is a singer.
