Pinoy Concert Canada

Canadian Idol Finalist 2007

Hometown: Toronto, ON
Nickname: MJ or Martitty
Favourite Song: 'Wind Beneath My Wings' by Bette Midler  
Would Like to Meet: "My grandfather"  
Motto: "Singing is not the only thing I can do...but it is the only thing that I want to do"  

"Even though I might come across as a very shy girl initially, I want Canadian Idol viewers to know that I am an outgoing and funny person."  Having a European father and an Asian mother, Martha draws a lot of her inspiration from her family. "My mom has been one of the most inspiring people in my life. She has overcome many obstacles in her life to get me to where I am today. Both of my parents have been there  for me from the beginning, through the good times and the bad."   

Martha credits her selection to the Canadian Idol Top 22 to her years of vocal training and love for    
music. But it has been no easy ride. "I was most surprised by the rigorous schedule of the competition,"     says Martha. "On TV it seems so glamorous, but behind the scenes it can be emotionally and physically draining."  Martha has the ability to sing in six different languages, including Portuguese, Filipino, Italian, Spanish, French and English. However, even though she can sing in six languages, she only speaks Filipino and English.
