Our material is constantly evolving—here's a just a sample of what we do!
Marty Mayo, co-founder and namesake to the Martian legend, continues to leave audiences both entertained and highly amused with amazing gymnastic abilities and a variety of on stage looks that draw in even the coldest of party killers. Step right up and see the greatest show on two feet. A man with a guitar and a voice that has endured from the humble beginnings to the most recent event. In addition to his on stage presence, Marty has been an accomplished artist with a degree from Parsons School of Design in Manhattan. Check out his art outlet at martymayo.com. Marty cites hot candle wax, LL Cool J's abs and iron-oxide tacos as his main influences.
Desiree Leonardi—"Queen D" took the NJ Music scene with force and grace when joining the Martians in 2018 as a lead vocalist. Her vocal talents, range, tone, pure harmonies and collaboration with Marty on stage has brought the band to the next level and beyond!! Queen D has expanded the creative range and production of the Martians and has quickly become a fan favorite and a priceless irreplaceable addition to the Martian lineup. Desiree comes from an extensive musical background and family. A multi-talented vocalist who has also been known to dabble on piano, ukulele, and even the clarinet as a part of the Rutgers University Marching Band. Over the past decade, she has sung with various a capella groups and coffee house combos. Her experience and professional, artistic abilities are respected throughout music circles across the state. A beautiful addition and new Queen of the Martian court!
Mike is the newest member of the Martians. As a recent Music Technology graduate, Mike brings his theater and amateur pumpkin-carving experience to the band.
Mark first picked up a bass when he was drunk...and still sounds like it. Known for once dating Tom's neighbor, Mark's influences include beer and songs in the key of E.
We are currently processing Mike's background check. The NSA has been a little slow in providing us with details. Please be patient.
Tom is no stranger to the stage—playing in clubs throughout NJ from around 1990–2003, and then hit the stage with Martians around 2012. You may remember [most likely not] some of these heavyweight NJ cover bands: Tin Pan Alley, Electrico, Twist of Fate and Katalyst. When not with the Martians, Tom composes/produces tracks for Premier Tracks, a leading production music library for TV, film and digital media. Recent credits include E! News Live (E! TV), National Enquirer Investigates, Real Housewives of the Potomac.
