Martin’s father is a California native and son of a Portuguese tuna fishing boat captain. His Peruvian mother was studying for an arts degree in San Diego when they met. Shortly after, they got married and decided to move to Perú, where Martin and his three siblings were born and raised. 

This meeting of two cultures deeply influenced his upbringing and still shapes his personal path toward understanding his own identity. Curious and sensitive from a young age, he found himself falling in love with music. For more than ten years, he has composed, recorded and produced original songs and has received critical acclaim for his work as "Go Icarus". 

Meanwhile, he studied psychology and became a licensed psychotherapist in Perú. Soon afterward, following his longing for a more holistic approach to human health, he attained an MA in East-West Psychology and also received a Certificate in Spiritual Counseling at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. 

He now lives and works as a private practitioner in Berkeley, CA. In his free time he can be found making music with his partner, tending to the garden and exploring the beautiful Bay Area.
