Her recent project Barbarella explores original songwriting in English and Spanish, while her solo dance-theater work TrashBata merges performance with environmental activism. Martínez comes from a lineage of celebrated artists and holds degrees from Brown University and Berklee College of Music. Praised by The New York Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer, she continues to perform internationally while also teaching music in New York.
