Growing up in a family where music was the central focus, she sang on stage and in the studio from a very early age. She began advertising writing songs and performing in clubs on her own since she was a drama student in her native Montreal. Until this year she has played advertising mostly a supporting role in her musical family, as the featured backing vocalist for her brother Rufus Wainwright's widely acclaimed recordings as well as on many of the tours supporting them. She appears onstage with the McGarrigles whenever possible and recently stunned a advertising huge crowd in Brooklyn's Prospect Park with her beautiful and heartfelt covers of two songs by Leonard Cohen. Now based in New York City, Martha plays regularly with her own band. She has gathered an ardent and growing following in the city's clubs and has been embraced by the downtown pop music world. She is currently recording her first full length album. This past July, Martha was cast by Martin Scorsese in the role of a 1940's torch singer for his forthcoming film, "The Aviator," starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett.
