Angie Martinez got her start working in radio. Raised in Brooklyn, Martinez was first introduced to music via her mother’s diverse musical tastes (who was a program director for a jazz radio station).

This led to a successful collaboration with Redman, “Heart Beat,” as well as working with Mary J. Blige and performing on the Grammy-nominated single “Ladies Night,” alongside Missy Elliot, Lil’ Kim, Left Eye, and Da Brat. Martinez was signed shortly thereafter to Elektra, issuing her debut album, Up Close and Personal, in 2001.
