Johnny Martin
Johnny Martin grew up surrounded by music at an early age. He completed the Royal Conservatory of Music for piano grade 8 and went on to perform with many different acts on radio and TV. It was his early exposure to bands like RUSH and The POLICE that began his journy and his love of playing drums and bass.
Since then, Johnny has been a steady fixture in the GTA music scene and now enjoys the priviledge of playing bass and "laying down the foundation" for TheDeadLegends.
As Johnny loves to say, "if the bass and drums ain't tight, it ain't right"!
