From a five-year-old discovering the violin to a record-breaking performer, Martin Looi’s relationship with music has been a lifelong journey of passion and courage. For years, it remained a silent companion, waiting patiently for the moment he would dare to let it speak.
Martin honed his craft at the Australian Institute of Music, where he mastered recording, mixing, and producing, learning how to bring his musical vision to life. After returning home, he worked quietly behind the scenes as a session violinist, producer, and engineer, refining his art with patience and dedication. While others stood in the spotlight, Martin stayed in the shadows, perfecting every note and every sound.
Then came the moment that changed everything.
In August 2022, Martin took a courageous leap of faith. For the first time since primary school, he stepped onto a stage to share his own music with the world. What began as a personal breakthrough quickly turned into a powerful new chapter.
Since then, his talent and bravery have led him to perform for royalty, foreign dignitaries, and beauty pageants, and to share stages with artists such as Marsha Milan and Black Hanifah. In 2023, he released his first EP, Sugary. In 2024, he earned a Malaysia Book of Records title and launched his debut album, Wrapped in Harmony.
Martin Looi’s journey is not just about music. It is about timing, trust, and the courage to step forward when the moment finally arrives.
His story reminds us that dreams do not expire.
They wait for us to be brave enough to claim them.
