DETROIT, MI – April 12, 2025 – International recording artist and literary trailblazer Martone is celebrating a major milestone this week as his debut book, Deep & Raw: The Erotica of Martone, has soared to #3 on the Amazon Best Selling African Poetry list. Known worldwide as The Emperor of House Music, Martone proves that his artistic reign extends far beyond the dancefloor, delivering a sultry, emotionally charged literary work that’s igniting readers across the globe.
Deep & Raw marks Martone’s bold entrance into the literary world, blending vivid eroticism with poetic introspection in a way only he can. The book is an unfiltered expression of desire, vulnerability, and unapologetic self-love—infused with the same passion and rhythm that have defined his music career. It’s a collection that celebrates identity, sensuality, and personal empowerment, all while pushing boundaries and challenging conventional norms.
Martone, born in Lansing, Michigan, has built an international reputation for redefining House music through high-energy tracks and genre-bending collaborations with producers like Michael E. Williams II and Marvin “DJ Extreme Detroit” Hairston—his own dynamic duo akin to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. With a catalog of dancefloor anthems and a devoted global following, Martone is now adding literary acclaim to his growing empire.
This literary achievement comes during a banner year for the multi-talented artist. On March 21, 2025, Martone released The Evolution of Martone: 10th Anniversary Remix Album, a retrospective collection celebrating a decade of dance music innovation. And on July 11, 2025, he will unveil his highly anticipated full-length album Phoenix Rising: The Emperor’s Ascension, preceded by the fierce new single “Too Bad, So Sad” featuring Intelligent Diva, set to drop May 16, 2025.
With Deep & Raw, Martone is not just making waves—he’s making history. His fusion of rhythm, narrative, and fearless creativity sets a new standard for what it means to be a multi-dimensional artist in today’s world. And this is just the beginning. With more books on the horizon and a relentless drive to evolve, Martone’s reign shows no signs of slowing down.For the latest news, music, and literary releases, visit www.MartoneOnline.com.
