"enormous
audiences in both Brazil and People's Republic of China begging him to
return"
"In Italy his album is currently
climbing"
With a new album, an upcoming tour and enormous audiences in both Brazil
and People's Republic of China begging him to return, Martin Stenmarck
is an artist whose next step is eagerly anticipated by fans all around
the world.
Martin Stenmarck knew exactly where he was going forming his own rock
band at the early age of 14. At 18, he received the grand prize in a National
Talent Hunt contest and in the years to come Martin earned several prominent
scholarships, including the renowned "Alice Babs Scholarship for
Singing". A wide talent such as Martin's has provided him with unlimited
singing options, covering grounds from Hard Rock to Jazz.
In 2000, Martin Stenmarck became a true household name joining the "Rhapsody
in Rock" international tour, all venues sold out. With an audience
well exceeding 130,000 spectators, the final performance was held on a
late November evening in a ready-to-burst Royal Albert Hall in London.
Suddenly Martin's voice and charisma was introduced to yet another fastidious
audience.
Early the following year plans were laid out for the next tour - plans
which eventually led to Martin Stenmarck and "Rhapsody in Rock"
in April boarding a flight with destination People's Republic of China.
This tour as well would turn out to be a huge success, during which Martin's
vigorous talent was ecstatically received by the Asian audience, including
a group of producers.
In early 2002, with a rapidly growing fan base in every continent, Martin
decided to release an album of his own. "One", Martin Stenmarck's
first solo album hit the stores on November 20, 2002. Warmly welcomed
by Swedish reviewers, Martin's debut album has been well received all
over Europe. In Germany, Martin's hit single "I'm Falling" landed
atop of the charts. In Italy his album is currently climbing.
Martin is deeply dedicated in social work, supporting several international
charity organisations, and by December of 2003 he was honoured the title
Sweden's "Ambassador for SOS Children's Villages". Later that
year, Martin also got the opportunity travelling with Her Royal Majesty
Queen Silvia of Sweden and the "Childhood Foundation" for a
fundraising event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The success was immediate
when Martin entered the stage facing a 100,000-head crowd.
The year 2004 has this far been a busy one for Martin; recording his album
titled "Upp och Ner Sånger", all songs exclusively written
by Martin himself in favour of SOS Children's Villages, and going on a
nation-wide tour with "Rhapsody in Rock". But this year Martin
also peaked his career to date, when he in May was invited by a group
of Asian producers to perform in front of 700 million viewers of the Beijing
International TV Awards - this as the solely invited international artist.
