Reshma Martin

 

Artist

Born in Kuala Lumpur, Reshma followed her roots to kick-start her creative pursuits and quickly made a splash in the country of over 32 million, appearing as a teenager in the final season of hit Malaysian reality singing competition, "Akademi Fantasia", in which she placed third.

She was the only female minority representing her ethnic group to ever compete on the show in its 13-season entirety, and became a figurehead of unity and change in the local entertainment industry.

However, she's always held a burning ambition to release consistent music in New Zealand, the country she grew up in. With full backing from her Malaysian fan base, Reshma has been writing music that can relate to both audiences, aspiring to create a link between the two communities that make up her identity.

Paying homage to her Malaysian roots, whilst staying true to a commercial pop sound, Reshma aims to add colour and diversity to Aotearoa's music industry, whilst paving the way for a larger South East Asian presence in the mainstream music culture worldwide.
