Don Martin is an aspiring country/rock music artist originally from western Iowa farm country looking to get his voice heard. Don has spent his past 14 years in cellular phone sales and business along with doing what he can in music while raising his children and providing for them. Two years ago he moved his family to the Nashville area to pursue his music career while working in the cellular industry to pay the bills. He is best singing a heartfelt country balad. Don also played semi-pro football in the NAFL for the Nebraska Bears in 2004 and 2005. Don has two daughters named Brittani and Kaylie. Brittani is also a great vocalist and is also currently looking to perform and sing in the Nashville area and attending Columbia State pursuing a music degree. Kaylie is a freshman in college and his son Dallas is a senior in high school and graduates this May 2011 and is bound to be a great actor someday. The producer on his demo is George McClure in Nashville and all of these songs were hand picked by Don and his family from great song writers in Nashville. Sheryl Blackman wrote his two favorites "Can't You Change your Mind" and "Forgiveness". You can check out these songs and some great cover song recordings by Don at ./donmartincountry or .digitalrodeo/donmartin.
