Micah Martin is a composer and multi-instrumentalist (but primarily guitarist) who has lived in Atlanta the vast majority of his life. A music lover from a young age, he eventually decided he wanted to try writing his own songs, but quickly found himself hampered by a lack of knowledge and decided to pick up the guitar. Self-taught for several years through exploration, listening, and a smattering of information picked up from books, magazines, and the internet, an increasing thirst for yet more knowledge led him to lessons and, later, a degree in music composition.

For many years immersed in metal and the pursuit of technical chops that come with it, Micah later found himself drifting through and learning from genres such as progressive rock, jazz fusion, 20th century classical, synth pop, funk and R&B as he continues to absorb influence and develop his own voice as a writer and musician.

Micah’s teaching style emphasizes a strong foundation in fundamentals that he did not receive through his initial self-taught years; those fundamentals opened his eyes to the importance of having a framework for understanding and organizing the knowledge and ability he had patched together through practical experience.
