Martin Stenmarck knew exactly where he was going forming his own rock band at the early age of 14. At 18, he received the grand prize in a National Talent Hunt contest and in the years to come Martin earned several prominent scholarships, including the renowned "Alice Babs Scholarship for Singing". A wide talent such as Martin's has provided him with unlimited singing options, covering grounds from Hard Rock to Jazz. When performing with Swedish jazz icons such as Ulf Wakenius and Rune Gustavsson, Martin early proved his confident voice capabilities.

In 2000, Martin Stenmarck became a true household name joining the "Rhapsody in Rock" international tour, all venues sold out. With an audience well exceeding 130,000 spectators, the final performance was held on a late November evening in a ready-to-burst Royal Albert Hall in London. Suddenly Martin's voice and charisma was introduced to yet another fastidious audience.

Early the following year plans were laid out for the next tour - plans which eventually led to Martin Stenmarck and "Rhapsody in Rock" in April boarding a flight with destination People's Republic of China. This tour as well would turn out to be a huge success, during which Martin's vigorous talent was ecstatically received by the Asian audience, including a group of producers.

In early 2002, with a rapidly growing fan base in every continent, Martin decided to release an album of his own. "One", Martin Stenmarck's first solo album hit the stores on November 20, 2002. Warmly welcomed by Swedish reviewers, Martin's debut album has been well received all over Europe. In Germany, Martin's hit single "I'm Falling" landed atop of the charts. In Italy his album is currently climbing.

Martin is deeply dedicated in social work, supporting several international charity organisations, and by December of 2003 he was honoured the title Sweden's "Ambassador for SOS Children's Villages". Later that year, Martin also got the opportunity travelling with Her Royal Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and the "Childhood Foundation" for a fundraising event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The success was immediate when Martin entered the stage facing a 100,000-head crowd.

The year 2004 has this far been a busy one for Martin; recording his album titled "Upp och Ner Sеnger", all songs exclusively written by Martin himself in favour of SOS Children's Villages, and going on a nation-wide tour with "Rhapsody in Rock". But this year Martin also peaked his career to date, when he in May was invited by a group of Asian producers to perform in front of 700 million viewers of the Beijing International TV Awards - this as the solely invited international artist.

Currently Martin Stenmarck spends a lot of time in the studio recording songs for his much awaited second album. Once again working with his younger brother David, a well-renowned songwriter and producer who is collaborating with international artists such as Westlife.

Meanwhile Martin considers accepting the leading part of "Aragorn" in "The Lord of the Rings"; the most comprehensive upcoming West End theatrical new production in 30 years, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy.

With a new album, an upcoming tour and enormous audiences in both Brazil and People's Republic of China begging him to return, Martin Stenmarck is an artist whose next step is eagerly anticipated by fans all around the world.
Мартин Стенмарк точно знал к чему он стремится создавая свою рок группу в возрасте 14 лет. В 18 он получил Гран При в конкурсе молодых талантов и в следующие годы еще ряд премий. Талант Мартина позволил ему петь в различных стилях - от хард-рока до джаза. Выступая с легендами шведского джаза такими как Ульф Вакениус и Рун Густавссон Мартин продемонстрировал уверенное владение своим вокалом.

В 2000 году Мартин стал известным широкой публики во время тура "Рапсодия в Роке", все концерты которого проходили с аншлагами. Заключительный концерт прошел в Королевском Альберт Холле в Лондоне при аудитории в 130 тысяч человек.
В следующем году Мартин и "Рапсодия в Роке" посещают Китай.

В начале 2002 года, имея уже создавшуюся базу фанатов на каждом континенте Мартин решает издать свой собственный альбом "One" который и выходит 20 ноября 2002 года. В Германии сингл с него "I'm Falling" возглавил чарты. Альбом также вошел в итальянские чарты.

Мартин занимается социальной работой, поддерживая ряд международных благотворительных организаций, в декабре 2003 года он получил титул Шведского посла Детских деревень SOS. В том же году Мартин удостоился чести путешествовать с королевой Сильвией и Фондом детства в Бразилию, где Мартин выступил для 100 тысячной аудитории.

2004 год был очень напряженным для Мартина, запись нового альбома Upp och Ner Sеnger, все песни с которого Мартин написал сам в пользу Детских деревень SOS, и новый тур с "Рапсодией в Роке". В мае он был приглашен группой азиатских продюсеров выступить с концертом для 700 миллионов зрителей на вручении пекинских телевизионных премий, будучи единственным приглашенным западным артистом.

Сейчас Мартин продолжает работать над своим вторым альбомом в сотрудничестве со своим младшим братом Дэвидом, известным автором и продюсером, работавшим с такой группой как Вестлайф.

Тем временем Мартин рассматривает предложение сыграть главную роль в постановке Властелин Колец, самой крупной театральной постановке Вест Энда за 30 лет.

I've got a room here at the Manorly Bay
I take a shower then I'm on my way
I bring a friend if someone picks a fight
Here in Las Vegas tonight

It's close to midnight when I hit the street
The maiden voyage on my Vegas trip
The night is young, and everything's alright
Here in Las Vegas tonight

Dancing girls, and cabarets
You can spend your money in a milion ways
Let's have a ball,
The winner takes it all

In Las Vegas
In the neon lights
You'll be a star, if you do it right
In Las Vegas, you'd better hold on tight
In Las Vegas
In the neon lights
Your luck can turn and you throw one dice
In Las Vegas, you'd better hold on tight
Here in Las Vegas tonight

I'm leaving with a milion-dollar-smile
The hotel manager can check my file
And Fred, the limo driver is asking polite
Here in Las Vegas tonight

Dancing girls, and cabarets
You can spend your money in a milion ways
Let's have a ball,
The winner takes it all

In Las Vegas
In the neon lights
You'll be a star, if you do it right
In Las Vegas, you'd better hold on tight

In Las Vegas

In Las Vegas
In the neon lights
You'll be a star, if you do it right

In Las Vegas, you'd better hold on tight

In Las Vegas
In the neon lights
Your luck can turn and you throw one dice
In Las Vegas, you'd better hold on tight
Here in Las Vegas tonight
