Martha has been in the entertainment business for over 20 years. She has been described as a poised vocalist and performer with a wide range of vocal versatility, class and charm.

Martha, like most musicians, began her career in her hometown in Arkansas serving in the church.  Martha with her late brother, trumpet player Harry Burks, would often perform for neighbors and relatives. Little did they know of the fruit their efforts would bear.

Not to mention the Anita Bakers and Diane Reeves of

the world as well. True to

form she is always Martha, a truly sophisticated lady.

During the eighties Martha was introduced to Bill Craig,      an  avid jazz lover. He took a chance on her and made an investment into her future. He introduced her to jazz

drummer,  the late Paul

Guerrero during her first recording in Little Rock with

the legendary jazz pianist and vocalist Jay McShann. This as some of you would say, "was

the beginning" and it's still

going strong.

She can scat with the best of them invoking imagery of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, Carmen McCrae.

  Martha sung everything from gospel to pop to jazz and back again. She captivates her audience with a sparkling personality to match her indisputable vocal skills.
