The non-stop Electronic Cabaret of Billie Ray Martin "The singer is Billie Ray Martin and she's one of the living legends in modern music history and one of the best voices on planet earth." DJ Hell Billie Ray Martin once described herself as 'a kid from the red light district of Hamburg who wanted to be a soul singer and found herself making repetitive electronic music, while still trying to be soul singer'. After first appearing as a guest vocalist on electro pioneers S-Express's hit single "Hey Music Lover" (as well as two tracks on their platinum debut album), Billie Ray Martin came to greater prominence leading the acclaimed deep house act Electribe 101, her unique voice hitting the house scene and charts alike with a serious infusion of soul. Electribe 101 scored a series of hits including the classic "Talking With Myself" before Billie moved on to continue exploring fusions of electronic music and soul. After releasing the thoroughly scary "Persuasion" with Spooky and the monumentally beautiful "Four Ambient Tales" with The Grid, Billie found herself with a worldwide number one hit in "Your Loving Arms", now regarded as one of the all-time classics of dance music. ...show more

Three more hits and the album "Deadline for My Memories" followed. Since then Billie has worked with Ann Peebles and Carla Thomas, as well as Al Green's and Aretha Franklin's musicians on her album "18 Carat Garbage", developing and to a point perfecting her dream of "Memphis meets Electro". She followed this with a series of acclaimed singles and collaborations, including the BRM-penned "Je Regrette Everything" with DJ Hell on his album 'N.Y. Muscle' and "Bright Lights Fading" with Scottish duo Slam, resulting in an abundance of renewed media praise and dance chart entries.

In 2008 Billie starting taking to the decks with the launch of her own London clubnight "Komputerliebe", which she has since re-launched in different cities including Frankfurt.
