Charlotte Martin
Charlotte Ann Martin (born October 31, 1976) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who performs predominantly on the piano. She has published several studio albums, two of which have received mainstream commercial releases: 2004's On Your Shore and 2006's Stromata. In 2009, she issued an instrumental piano album titled Piano Trees, which was followed by Dancing on Needles, on February 1, 2011.
Martin grew up in Charleston, Illinois. Her father is a music professor at Eastern Illinois University. Martin won the Miss Illinois Teen USA 1994 title on June 26 and went on to compete in the Miss Teen USA pageant in Biloxi, Mississippi, on August 16. She graduated from Eastern Illinois University in 1998 with a bachelor's degree in vocal performance, majoring in opera. In 1999, she moved to Los Angeles.[citation needed] On September 30, 2005, she married musician/producer Ken Andrews. Their first child, a boy, was born on May 4, 2008; their second, a daughter, on March 9, 2011.[citation needed]
Following the birth of her first child, Martin suffered from intercostal neuralgia that left her incapacitated for the better part of a year, causing lengthy delays to the writing and recording process of her album Dancing on Needles.
On August 11, 2017, Martin filed for divorce from Andrews.
Prior to the release of her major-label debut, On Your Shore, Martin had composed two full-length albums and two EPs. Her first foray into songwriting came in the form of Mystery, Magic & Seeds (1998), an album Martin wrote as a result of a friend's death, which she now considers juvenilia, but which is available for download from archive.org. Her second album, One Girl Army, remained unreleased, though an EP of the same name containing a few selections from the full-length record was published independently in 2000, and Martin still performs some of its content live. The masters for this album are now owned by Martin's former label, RCA Records.
In 2002, Martin independently released a limited-edition EP containing eight tracks, called Test-Drive Songs, which is now out of print but still available for download on her official website.
In 2003, Martin released another EP, titled In Parentheses, on RCA. It contained four tracks, one of which ("Your Armor") would later be included (with an added string arrangement) on On Your Shore.
On August 10, 2004, On Your Shore, Martin's first full-length album on a major label, RCA, was released. A video for the single "Every Time It Rains" was also issued.
