Her next part was in the also CBBC sitcom The Basil Brush Show, where she played the character of Ella, Molly's next door neighbour. Presently,[when?] Martin is a reader on Jackanory Junior every Sunday on CBeebies.

In 2003 Martin joined the girl group The 411 who enjoyed moderate success releasing three singles, two of which reached the UK top 5 and 1 album before disbanding in 2008, however stating they would potentially reform in the future if the time was right.

On 30 March 2020 Martin released her debut single "Leave Your Mind" and continues to record and perform.
