Martin Myers

Cape Town based publicist Martin Myers started out in the music industry by running UCT Radio back in 1985. This was when he decided that he wanted to make a career in the music business. Martin’s break came when he organized a gig for the legendary Sipho “Hotstix” Mabuse the same year. Following this, Sipho asked him to work with him on an international tour. This personal and professional relationship remains solid 21 years later.

Martin started SMD Technical with Steve Oliver in 1990, which provides music, sound, technical direction and lighting for some of the biggest events in the country including the soft opening for the One & Only Hotel in Cape Town. Martin has been compiling music for fashion shows for over 15 years and his choice, advice and input has become so respected that he is often called on to assist Gavin Rajah, Craig Port, Thula Sindi to name a few.

Martin is the co-founder of Music Exchange, South Africa’s independent music summit and currently with Sony Music and Musketeer Records (the home of Seether) as their Cape Town publicist. Sport is Martin’s second favourite passion and he has co-presented a Saturday morning sports show between 8am and 9am named “On The Couch” on Heart104.9FM since 2005.
