Martin Kaye BIO

Martin Kaye is a high-energy, internationally-acclaimed, odd-socked pianist, singer, songwriter, and all-round showman.

Best known for his knockout performances as “Jerry Lee Lewis” in the hit Broadway, West End and Las Vegas show ’Million Dollar Quartet’, Manchester-born Martin exudes energy beyond anything you've ever seen. He sings from the depths of his soul, he pounds the piano with reckless abandon - then jumps on top of it and plays backwards - and just try to keep up with his non-stop legs!

With over two thousand performances as “The Killer” under his belt, and inspired by some of the most dynamic and beloved artists of our time - Elton John, Jerry Lee Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley - Martin Kaye has made it his life’s mission to share his love of music with the world. He has written and produced five albums and a musical, and regularly performs his dynamic headline show in theatres across America, around the UK, and on luxury cruise ships across the globe. His distinct showmanship, dynamic flair, and profound love for his audience, make every performance, and Martin Kaye himself, a genuine tour de force.
