Martino

**Martino** is the musical alias of Mexican singer-songwriter Martín Velasco, a versatile artist known for crafting emotive Latin pop with indie sensibilities. Blending acoustic textures, introspective lyrics, and breezy melodies, he’s built a loyal following since emerging in the early 2010s. His sound often walks the line between folk-pop intimacy and polished, radio-ready hooks, with tracks like *Alas* and *Transforma* showcasing his knack for pairing heartfelt storytelling with laid-back grooves.

While maintaining a relatively low-key profile, Martino has collaborated with notable Latin artists like Ximena Sariñana and Carla Morrison, and his work has earned nods at festivals and awards, including a Latin Grammy nomination. Releases like *Pasos de Gigante* highlight his evolution, weaving themes of personal growth and resilience into his sunlit, rhythm-driven soundscapes. Whether through stripped-back ballads or upbeat anthems, Martino’s music feels like a cozy conversation with an old friend—honest, warm, and effortlessly relatable.
