Billie Ray Martin
Billie Ray Martin's story reads like a Hollywood movie, full of twists and turns. It even contains the obligatory 'singer looks for band' advert which leads to Electribe 101. But when a second album is rejected the band splits, Billie Ray Martin goes solo, and the album is forgotten for 30 years until it was released a couple of years ago.

Out now - Electribal Memories from Electribe 101
With four new projects on the horizon, in this in-depth career spanning interview, Billie Ray Martin, talks about her humble working-class beginnings growing up in the Reeperbahn district of Hamburg, moving to Berlin where she gains experience on-stage in bands, and her first impressions of when she first moved to London. There she became a vocalist for S'Express, talks about that now-legendary advert that led to Electribe 101, the missiles that were thrown when supporting Depeche Mode, the moment she knew 'Your Loving Arms' would be a massive success, and the brilliant 'lost' album of Electribe 101 - 'Electribal Soul' that released in 2022.
