- More about me -
As a Las Vegas native, my parents would jokingly call me an “extremist" due to the fact that I chose to endure severely cold winters when I’m at school, and severely hot summers during breaks. However, I was so excited to be able to live in a completely different environment and buy my first pair of snow boots and a winter coat, all while pursuing what I loved!
I had grown up with theater and fell in love with it at a very young age, but I always wanted to be a marine biologist. That is, until I was cast as Sophie in Mamma Mia my freshman year of high school. Through that show, I then had caught the kicking face and belting bug and couldn’t imagine a life without theater.
I love to play pretend, I love putting on costumes, and while you think this might be a quote from a 5 year old, it is in fact coming from the mouth of a 21 year old, who loves theater just as much as she did when she was a little girl.

"Molly Martin has released her debut single, "Heartbreaker" on iTunes and all streaming platforms.
The song makes your heart skip a beat."
- Las Vegas Review Journal
When I was in high school, I went through my first “heartbreak” (I was over it in 2 days)... I turned to my trusty tenor pacific walnut ukelele and just started singing. My first song came together within 30 minutes and from that moment on, songwriting became a huge part of my life.
Flash forward to when I was 19, I went through yet another heartbreak (it took me well over 2 days to get over it). As a 19 year old does, I posted one of the songs on my tiktok, and let's just say the guy it was about discovered the song. After a brutal rollercoaster of too many "second" chances, I had written 50 angry/sad/longing/loving/hating breakup songs and decided maybe 50 songs about the same person wasn't the healthiest relationship.
At this point, heartbreak aside, I was so passionate about songwriting, and had been introduced to Frankie Moreno, who offered to produce an album for me - something I had been wanting for years. So, I took those 50 breakup songs when I was feeling fragile, narrowed them down, and released my first album called “fragile”.

Recently, I had the honor of being in the ensemble of Cinderella at Syracuse Stage directed by Melissa Rain Anderson and choreographed by Jessica Chen. We closed the 50+ show run in January, and then I immediately packed my bags and moved to NYC. In addition to our evening and matinee performances, we also did performances for many schools in the Upstate New York area. This was my first professional production, and I was pinching myself every second of every rehearsal. It was so magical being in a room full of so much joy and passion for theater!
