Marteen (born Marteen Arellano) is a Gen Z R&B/pop artist bringing candid vulnerability to the Los Angeles music scene. The singer-songwriter first turned heads as a teenager with his 2018 breakout "Drowning," blending smooth vocals with raw lyrics about young love and identity struggles. His 2021 EP *8* and subsequent singles like "Freak" and "Pieces" showcase his evolution – think moody bedroom pop beats meets confessional lyrics about messy relationships and self-discovery. Tracks like "this shit sux" and "NOTHANKYOU." capture his signature mix of angsty relatability and laidback Cali cool, while recent drops like "We Cool" lean into bouncier, hook-driven pop. Beyond the music, Marteen’s become a voice for queer youth, openly exploring LGBTQ+ themes in his work while maintaining an effortlessly chill vibe that makes heartbreak sound like something you’d text your BFF about.
