About Us
Anne
Anne began her classical vocal training at the age of 13, then quickly launched into a singing career by the age of 15. Throughout Anne's schooling in Ohio, she became known as a special events vocalist in the state, recorded three solo CDs, and traveled with various choral groups.
After winning a music scholarship, completing her degree, and teaching private music lessons for 5 years, she pursued theater and was cast in many roles from Ohio, to Kansas City, and more recently the Bradenton/Sarasota area. There she enjoyed playing , "Sandra Bloom" in Big Fish The Musical at Sarasota Players with her then fiancé Matthew Martin.
For three years she taught music in the public schools and appeared in various performances in the area, but in early 2017 she decided to return to full time performing along side of managing an entertainment company, "Brave N Beautiful". Her company provided children's character parties and singing telegrams in the region. During the 2017/2018 season Anne was also a choir member of the professional Choral Artists of Sarasota. (Gloria Musicae) This is around the time that "The Martin Duo" began...
Throughout the pandemic she taught hundreds of voice lessons online and became a successful music teacher to students around the world through Outschool. See her reviews here:
Most recently she had the opportunity to sing as a Cast-member in Disney's Candlelight, and is currently an elementary music teacher in the Orlando area.
Matthew Tristan
Matthew Tristan traveled extensively between England and the US as a child and appeared in many school and regional theater and music productions. He studied both at The London Academy of Music and Drama, and also took private acting lessons at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He then became passionate about film and writing in high-school, started his own web-series based out of his school, and later brought his passion for story-telling to Florida as a student at Ringling College. Once in the Sarasota area, Tristan quickly became a theater favorite appearing in multiple lead roles. His versatility ranges from playing Neville in the Mystery of Edwin Drood, to Sir Galahad in Spamalot, to Phillipe in Phantom, to Will Bloom in Big Fish. He also landed his first commercial role in the fall of 2017 playing James Bond's sidekick "Q" for three Hascall Denke advertisements. Currently he is a favorite voice-over artist for Worldbook, and has sung in Disney's Candlelight cast choir two years in a row.
The Martin Duo
In 2016 Anne and Tristan met through the show, "Phantom" at Manatee Players. Then in the fall of 2017 they publicly came together as a dynamic duo now known as, "The Martin Duo", and have sung for hundreds of events since.
In June of 2018 they tied the knot and pledged to stay together forever in marriage and music.
Since that time we've had the privileged to sing for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018 & 2019, provide frequent entertainment in the region for clubhouses & over 20 retirement communities, specialize in romantic duets for weddings and anniversaries, deliver singing telegrams, and also have done voice over acting as a team for 15+ audio books. They both also sang in Disney's Cast Choir for the 2021 Candlelight Processional at Epcot.
