Tony Martinez may be a fresh name to some, but his journey to releasing his debut album, Everywhere West, has been anything but sudden. The singer-songwriter has spent years perfecting his craft, resulting in a collection of country songs that are as genuine as they are refreshing, blending traditional Western sounds with a strong rock ‘n’ roll influence.
Martinez’s music has been steadily gaining attention, with early singles like “Try” showcasing his talent and the recently released “Back To The Wall” further solidifying his place in the country music scene. His debut album’s title track, “Everywhere West,” holds special significance, as it was penned by his father, Rick Martinez, many years ago. The song is now enjoying a resurgence, thanks to Martinez and his close friend Yelawolf, who co-produced the album after signing Martinez to his Slumerican record label.
In an exclusive interview, Martinez shared how the creation of Everywhere West came together “pretty organically,” reflecting the years of hard work and dedication that have shaped his sound. With a mix of heartfelt lyrics, Western roots, and a modern edge, Martinez’s debut album is poised to make a significant impact on the country music landscape.
