Martin Tracey<\/span>\u00a0is a multi-functional author of both fiction and non-fiction spanning topics as diverse as conspiracy theories, crime, football, music, memoirs, thrillers and the paranormal. This can never be an exhaustive list, Martin is a versatile writer and does not wish to be restricted to one specific genre. Besides, his wild imagination would never allow it! In general terms, his fiction pushes the boundaries of reality and his non-fiction showcases the fascinating stories of other inspirators. As a proud Brummie his working-class roots are reflected in the edginess and honesty of his writing\u2026and since 2023 his film making! <\/span><\/p>\n Martin\u2019s first taste of literary success was as a very young boy. His primary school entered two of Martin\u2019s stories into separate competitions \u2013 scooping top prize in both! As well as playing about with words, Martin developed a deep love for music and football pretty much from the cot. He was brought up on Elvis, discovered an obsessive passion for The Beatles all by himself and somewhat equalled his love of the Fab Four with Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club. Once he realised that he wouldn\u2019t cut it as a professional footballer, music became the dominant career path and initially his love for writing materialised through his passion for writing songs. Regardless of his working-class upbringing, Martin\u2019s parents funded classical piano lessons from a tender age after Mom was donated a piano by someone she worked for. Martin went on to form various bands on the Birmingham music scene which spawned a live TV appearance from the NEC (Naked Touch), finalists in \u201cBattle of the Bands\u201d (Sharp) and a string of radio interviews (No-one is Two!, Entity Fair). Martin is the songwriter and co-performer of \u2018Raging Bull\u2019 which can be found on the album Old Gold Anthems \u2013 the songs of Wolves (available on <\/span>Amazon<\/a>, <\/span>Spotify<\/a> & more<\/span>)<\/span>, thus demonstrating his love for the club that he should commit to song a tribute to their most successful goal-scorer. \u2018Raging Bull\u2019 is performed by The Southbank Two (formerly No-one is Two!) who were in fact the song-writing duo of Martin Tracey and Gary Brown. Intelligently produced with the able assistance of Gavin Monaghan at Wolverhampton\u2019s Magic Garden Studios, their music courted interest from RAK Records amongst others. A bonafide contract was signed with Cherry Red Records for \u2018Raging Bull\u2019. Later, performing in a different duo, Martin went on to co-found Entity Fair with singer\/songwriter Scott Stackhouse and Martin\u2019s song \u2018Saturn Rising\u2019 won a competition on BBC Radio WM, winning an incredible 40% of the public vote, resulting in this song-writing duo supporting Roland Gift and the Fine Young Cannibals at Birmingham\u2019s Alexander Theatre.<\/span><\/p>\n Song-writing is never something Martin could dismiss completely, all songwriters will tell you that it is impossible to ignore those creative urges, but his passion for writing has evolved to writing novels of chilling suspense and film scripts that bring to life many a topic, exercising that active brain of his that is \u2018wired\u2019 a little differently to most!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.9em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/martintracey.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/bio-pic.jpg” alt=”Pic of Martin Tracey” title_text=”bio pic” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ custom_margin=”-1px||0px|||” custom_margin_tablet=”-1px||0px|||” custom_margin_phone=”-64px||0px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”35px|||||” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|on||||||” text_text_color=”#B69A75″ text_font_size=”19px” custom_padding=”32px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”32px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”31px||37px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u201cBooks, films, projects?
