**It’s easy to get excited about Pedro Martins, a young multi-instrumentalist and
singer-songwriter from Brazil.**

On this edition of My Music on The Checkout, we’ll get to know Martins, who at 26
has toured with Kurt Rosenwinkel and released his own album on the guitarist’s Heartcore
label. It was Rosenwinkel who gave Martins the confidence to step out as a vocalist—
featuring him in that capacity on [a song called “Kama.”](https://youtu.be/GNsPrAfQXfQ)

Martins was something of a child prodigy: he remembers hearing and dissecting a 
Beatles song by age 3. His parents encouraged his practice on many different instruments;
by 7, he was making rudimentary multitrack recordings on analog cassette.

By age 16, he had released his first album. It was around that time when his study
of Rosenwinkel became an obsession. Martins somehow grabbed an early demo of the
guitarist’s album _Caipi _a full decade before it was released to the public.

Martin is now touring with Rosenwinkel’s _Caipi_ band; riding a wave of critical
acclaim for his second album, _Vox_; and carving out a lane for himself as a singer.

His beautiful and plaintive vocal style also shines on Expensive Magnets, a new 
collection of homemade videos he created with Genevieve Artadi, of the group Knower.
