About Dj Herb Martin Herb Martin was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. Music is his first love and he has been involved with music since the age of five when he attended the Harlem School of the Arts. There he studied Piano and Drama. He also played Drums and formed a band called Prestige. He grew up listening to artist and bands such as Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Rufus/Chaka Khan, Eddie Kendricks, Roy Ayers, War, George Benson, The Isley Brothers, Thelma Houston, Prince, Loletta Holloway, Ramsey Lewis, Jimmy Castor, the Salsoul Orchestra, MFSB, Ashford & Simpson, Jocelyn Brown, Etc. He started spinning at the age of thirteen and has been spinning for over twenty-five years. He started out primarily as a Hip-Hop DJ. He enjoyed all forms of music but was fascinated by this emerging new art form that was called B-Boy,which eventually came to be known as Hip-Hop. He played his first gig in October 1978. As he matured, he started to hang out at clubs like Broadway International, the Roxy, the Fun House and the Paradise Garage (member). It was at these clubs (along with his musical upbringing) where he developed the love for the music that he currently specializes in which is Soulful Dance/House, along with Garage and Loft Classics, and Afrikan & Latin Jazz. He considers DJs such as, Larry Levan, Timmy Regisford, Merlin Bobb, Tee Scoot, Salvino Brown (SBJ), Grand Master Flash and Reggie Wells as major influences in his playing style. He has spun at Clubs, Lofts, Parties & Events all over NYC and beyond. Some of these experiences include: Mars(NYC), Studio 54 (NYC), Bridge Street Loft (Bkn), Afterlife (NYC), The Shelter (NYC), 2Is(NYC), Language (Bkn.), NY Classic House Weekend/WMC(Mia.), Caviar Studios(Bkn) Clubhouse Jamboree(Bkn), The APT (NYC), Sanctuary (DC), Langstons (Bkn), Core (Tokyo), Club DEEP (NYC), LOVE (NYC), Franks Lounge (Bkn). He has also held residencies at:Turquoise, Together in Sprit, Amadi @ LOVE NY & Madame X. He has worked as a DJ for WBLS, and played on the air for 91.5 WNYE, 98.7 KISS FM, 90.3 WBAU. On a good night or morning, Herb can be found doing one of the things he loves most, playing good music for your ears, mind, body and soul!
