Generally,
Marty's songwriting themes are about love and classic stories
retold. But times are changing and an interest in being more politically
minded has become important in his lyrics. Marty aspires to be
a songwriter as lyrically masterful, brave and outspoken as Bob
Marley and John Lennon regarding important social issues. Marty
cares deeply about spreading laughter and good vibes. He is always
interested in making a positive impact with his music and is hoping
to "make a difference" by educating people about the
importance of nurturing creativity and "creative intelligence".
Marty
is a former “Dead Head” who essentially started writing
songs and playing guitar in NY City. Marty originally used the
time “11:11” as an artist, but found a group in Jersey
using the name. So he adopted Clear Haze as his artist name. He
still uses 11:11 as a logo and is very superstitious about his
connection with the time 11:11 and number 11. The name Clear Haze
is used as a metaphor for life. For most of us, if not all of
us, our lives will have many memorable experiences. Sometimes
they are very hazy experiences and sometimes they are quite clear!
