MARTIKA (born as Marta Marrero, May 18, 1969, Whittier, California) is an American pop singer-songwriter and actress. As a singer she released two internationally successful albums in the late 1980s and early 1990s, selling over four million copies worldwide.
MARTIKA began her career as a child actor, appearing in the hit movie 'Annie'. MARTIKA was cast as 'Gloria' on the Disney children series Kids Incorporated, appearing alongside Stacy Ferguson (Fergie, The Black Eyed Peas), Mario Lopez, Shanice, and others.
MARTIKA was signed to CBS/Sony records in 1988 and released her debut CD titled 'Martika' which spawned several top 40 hits and culminating with her Billboard #1 hit song 'Toy Soldiers'. 'Martika' the CD sold over 3 million units worldwide and made MARTIKA an international star.
MARTIKA's follow up CD was Co-Produced by Prince and was titled 'Martika's Kitchen'. 'Martika's Kitchen was a hit overseas and MARTIKA toured Europe, Japan and Australia in support of her growing success. 'Love...Thy Will Be Done', co-written by Prince, became a hit and was #1 in Australia for five straight weeks.
MARTIKA continued working in television and had a recurring role on the hit series 'Wiseguys' playing lounge singer Dahlia Mendez.
MARTIKA started working as a writer and producer through much of the 90's.
Missing the stage, MARTIKA formed a duo called 'OPPERA' and in 2004, released the CD titled 'Violince' and then in 2005, a follow up CD titled 'Oppera'. MARTIKA toured with Pat Benatar to support the new material.
In 2009, MARTIKA decided to start writing in her poetry book so that she could begin working on material for what will become her follow up to her Columbia Records CD 'Martika's Kitchen'.
MARTIKA's new CD 'THE MIRROR BALL LIVE' will be released in 2013
