Work with Technotronic
Martin (as MC Eric) was a member of techno/Eurodance act Technotronic, providing lead vocals on the 1990 hit single "This Beat Is Technotronic". At the height of their career, they toured with Madonna on her Blond Ambition World Tour in the 1990s.

2000s–present
Martin's debut album under the name Me One was released in May 2000 on Universal-Island UK. The 12-track release was titled As Far as I'm Concerned and featured Guru (from Gang Starr) on "Do You Know" and Michelle Gayle on "In My Room" which interpolates the Beach Boys song of the same name. The latter was released as a single, along with "Game Plan" and "Old Fashioned".
