Marten Laciny (born 4th December 1982), better known by his stage name Marteria, is an electronic/rap artist from Rostock, Germany. His stage name is derived from his first name, and also the Spanish word 'Marteria' meaning 'substance' or 'material'. He has met with success in Germany (his recent collaboration with Yasha and Miss Platnum, 'Lila Wolken', reached Number 1 in the German music charts) and the single 'Verstrahlt', featuring Yasha, was included in the console game FIFA 12.

Life

Laciny was born to a teacher and a sailor, and spent his childhood in the district of Lichtenhagen in Rostock. A talented footballer, he played for the youth team of FC Hansa Rostock, with whom he still maintains a close relationship. He played under Horst Hrubesch up in the U-17 squad of the German national football team.

When he was discovered in 1999 during a trip to New York by a model scout, he got model assignments all over the world. He worked for Diesel and Hugo Boss, among others, after which he discontinued his modeling and went back to Rostock to pursue his rap career.

In 2003 he moved to Berlin. There he trained as an actor at a Drama School there. He has one son, and now lives in Berlin's Kreuzberg district.

Music career

At the age of 16, Marteria was a member of the hip-hop group 'Underdog Cru', signed to the label Posin music. At 18, Marteria then signed his first solo contract with Punchline/SPV, and released his debut album.In 2002 he went as part of the Underdog Cru on a European tour with other British and German groups. A year before, in 2001, he performed as part of the Underdog Cru in the largest hip-hop and reggae festival in Europe, 'Splash!'.

His debut album, "Halloziehnation", was praised by the press and by the scene magazine Juice, awarded 4 1/2 of 6 stars. He then released his second album "Base Ventura". These two albums he released on the label Magnum12, where he laid the foundations for his current career. In late Autumn 2007 he signed a contract with the music publisher Nesola. In December 2007, under his other pseudonym Marsimoto, he accompanied Jan Delay as tour support. In spring 2008 he signed a label deal with Four Music, but has since been released.

Marsimoto

In addition to his stage name Marteria, he is also known under the pseudonym Marsimoto. Marsimoto originated as a tribute to the alter ego of rapper Quasimoto Madlib. Marteria published as Marsimoto his solo albums "Halloziehnation", "Zu zweit allein" and "Grüner Samt". Due to the positive response, he decided to release an album as Marsimoto.
