Martyn Lucas

Singer/Producer

Born in 1969 Martyn grew up in a very musical family, his Mother and Father were both in the business, which enabled Martyn to get a passion for performing from an early age. By the age of 16 Martyn had won several piano playing titles and was recognised as an accomplished musician. He had also trained and performed at the prestigious ‘Dartington College of Arts’ in Devon. After leaving college, he became a professional solo singer, working mainly in the South West of England.

Theatre credits include, ‘Noyes Fludde’, ‘The Music Man’, ‘Christmas Cat & The Pudding Pirates’ and a variety of others, including touring around Europe and appearing in ‘Euro Disney, Paris’ with his very own solo show. It was whilst touring that Martyn discovered his unique talent for impersonating such stars as, Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Pavarotti, Neil Diamond, Michael Crawford and Sir Cliff Richard. It was this very impression that won him a place on the ITV series ‘Stars in Their Eyes’.

He was very privileged to perform as the ‘Phantom of the Opera’, in London's Covent Garden, Live on Channel 4. It is a very exciting time for Martyn at the moment with the second year's tour under way with, ‘One Night In Vegas’, and releasing his debut single, ‘Anybody Out There’, which is his own composition. Due to the success of 'One Night in Vegas'. He has now released two other shows. 'One Night in Christmas' and 'One Night with the Piano Men'.
