Bust It Out
“Getting into the room is one thing. Make sure they know who they came to see.”
Bust It Out tells the true story of Martin and Louis Mosely working together at a Southern California paint store in the early 1990s—paint-store hustlers by day, then clubs, DJs and local music by night. Before MarTinman, there was MartyMar, and before MartyMar stepped up, there was Louis saying, ‘Little man… you’re up… let’s go.’

About MarTinman
Built from the real stuff.
MarTinman turns lived experience into rhythm.
Built from East L.A. roots, Brisbane nights, family stories, old mates, lowrider spirit, and soul that has been through a few things, the MarTinman Songbook is less a collection of singles and more a map of a life.
The sound moves through funk, soul, old-school rhythm, hip-hop, disco, mariachi, rock and low-slung grooves—but the center stays the same: real stories, real people, real rhythm.
