Biography

Martine Johnson grew up in Saint-Ignace, New Brunswick and is fluent in both French and English, thanks to her father's heritage. At age 18, Johnson moved to Ottawa, Ontario to attend Carleton University.^[1] During her time there, she stumbled upon an internship opportunity at CP Music Group^[1] which marked the beginning of her music career. Starting as a CD delivery driver and office administrator, Johnson worked her way up to singing backup for other recording artists at the label.

Musical career

Johnson's first single release was a cover version of Edward Maya’s and Vika Jigulina's "Stereo Love". It reached number 10 in the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 in November 2010.^[6] To date, "Stereo Love" has reached platinum sales and earned a nomination for Dance Single of the Year at the 2011 Juno Awards. In late 2010, Don Omar collaborated with Johnson to release a remix version of "Stereo Love". The singer followed up with "Latin Moon" in May 2011, a song which reached gold sales and was re-released in French and Spanish. The single also saw a fourth release featuring Massari. The original version was nominated in the Dance/Urban/Rhythmic category at the 2012 Canadian Radio Music Awards.

Johnson's debut album Devotion was released on August 29, 2011 and reached number 77 on the Canadian Albums Chart. The album earned nominations for Dance Recording of the Year at the 2012 Juno Awards and World Recording of the Year at the 2012 East Coast Music Awards. Two more singles were released off Devotion, "Burning", "Go Crazy" (produced by Adrian Sina of the group Akcent) and "Missing You".

Johnson made a comeback with her song "Different Kind of Love"^[7] as well as her other songs that later came in fall: "DJ Saved My Life", a remix of Mariah Carey song of the same name, and "Daydream".^[8]
