Bio

Born in the heart of Texas and raised in New York, San Antonio-based Michael "Mijail" Martinez is a singer-songwriter living in blended worlds. Wielding a Spanish guitar, he weaves elements of Americana,Latin folk  music and spoken-word poetry to create unique songs with strong roots.

Getting his start as a street-performer singing a range of styles including rancheras,  Country classics, and old Flamenco songs.  He has been spotted on stages, in theaters, cantinas, subway tunnels, street corners, and house shows from NYC to Barcelona, Mexico City to New Orleans

Together with his band— or solo, he performs in English, Spanish, and French, putting on a show as fitting for an intimate listening room as for a dark dance hall. Sweetness and fire abound as he explores love, death, longing, sensuality, and solitude using the tools of a wandering troubadour. His demo EP, “Carnaval Blues en Nueva York” is available on most platforms. 

 

Nacido en Texas y crecido en Nueva York, Mijail Martínez— cantante y compositor que vive en diversos mundos. Armado con una guitarra  y una ardiente pasión para la poesía, ha tocado en el metro, en la calle, en cantinas, y en teatros desde NYC, Barcelona, Ciudad de México, New Orleans, hasta San Antonio Texas. Junto con su grupo The Cantina Ramblers, crea canciones en inglés, francés, y espańol y da presentaciones que cabe en un escenario íntimo igual que en una sala de baile. Dulzura y fuego abundan como explora con sus canciones el amor, la muerte, el deseo, la sensualidad, y la soledad, en la tradición de un trovador ambulante, siempre mirando al horizonte. Su debut, “Carnaval Blues en Nueva York” está disponible en todas plataformas.
