Amber Hurst Martin

Amber has been singing since she was a little girl, sitting in the picture window of the house where she grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. 

Classically trained in music and theater at Fordham College Lincoln Center in New York City, she began her career singing in Manhattan jazz clubs like Birdland and Dizzy's at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Soon after, she was cast in the national tour of one of her favorite musicals, Jesus Christ Superstar. Since then, her performance career has taken her to 49 of the 50 states (Vermont!), the Caribbean with Disney Cruise Lines, and as far as The International Opera House in Daegu, South Korea, where she performed in the world premiere of Sunfish. Her experience spans Shakespeare, opera, jazz, musical theater and pop, to say nothing of her not-so-secret love for R&B.

In 2014, Amber began touring with It Gets Better, a project of the Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, which gave her the distinction of being the first female member in its 42 year history. This was a unique opportunity for her to truly live out her passions for performing, travel and community activism. She recently premiered her solo cabaret, You Can't Act A Color at Rockwell Table & Stage in Los Angeles. Currently, Amber splits her time between New York & LA, where she studies improv and actively collaborates with artists & bands for live performances and in studio.
