History

Beginnings

After being discovered by Ben Brazil in 2002 backstage at a No Doubt concert at Festival Hall, CC cut a two track demo with local Melbourne producer Adam Friedman and started performing tiny underground gigs around Melbourne. In 2004 CC made a 5 track EP with Melbourne producer Kent Morris featuring tracks co-written with friend Tiffany Kommedal. CC signed a distribution deal to Shock Records in January 2005 after being scouted at a Dangerfield / Indie Initiative sponsored Christmas party show at the Prince Of Wales Hotel. CC teamed up with DJ/Producer Chris Coe and released the leading single My Bush Would Make A Better President off his debut album Seige Mentality in 2006.^[4] CC released her debut album All The Way! in May 2008. After making a video for the debut single Champagne Taste with director Duke Dinh, CC's record contract was upgraded and in early 2006 she signed a licensing deal to release her LP on Shock Records' sub-label Public Opinion.

National and International Success

In late 2007 CC Martini's debut single "Champagne Taste" was released and peaked at number 68 on the ARIA Singles Chart^[5]and reached number 25 on the ARIA Physical Singles Chart. It also spent two weeks debuting at number one on the AIR 100% Independent Singles chart, now known as the Jagermeister Australian Independent Music Charts^[6]. CC released her debut album, All The Way! in May 2008. Double Dutch was the second single from the album, reaching number 28^[7]on the ARIA Pop Charts, due to popularity generated from the song being used for a TV commercial for US TV Show Hellcats^[8].

CC wrote Superstar Girl - the official theme song for Teen/Tween social media mega site Stardoll^[9]and has a Real Celebrity doll^[10] The song was used for the brand's promotional and marketing campaign and was used for their international TV commercial, airing in Europe and the US.^[11] Other song's by CC have been synced in Australia, Europe and North America appearing on TV shows, Movies and TV commercials. She has also written songs for TV shows: The Saddle Club^[12] (Canada) and Freefonix^[13] (UK)

CC is now a 100% independent artist. She continues to work with producer Stephen Bradley (Keys, Trumpet and vox for No Doubt / Gwen Stefani) and also working with Dave Tweedie (Oona). Her second album Girl Scout includes collaborations from old friend and producer Andy Baldwin and Beki Colada (Mavis's / Beki & The Bullets).
