Martyn Chen, aka Citrus, is from Hefei, China. Growing up, the young artist learned about different cultures on the internet. His favorite was scrolling through hours of basketball and sneaker culture on YouTube. What he didn’t realize at the time was that he was also taking in hours and hours of hip-hop music. This is where his knowledge of English and his love for rap and hip-hop started. In 2019, he moved to New York City to study at NYU. Since then, Martyn has been investigating his musical talents; more specifically his strength as a rapper. He’s able to produce his own music and has started getting attention for doing so. Another aspect that separates him from other rappers is his incorporation of Chinese, his first language. Additionally, he has had the amazing opportunity to work with Grammy-winning producer, Anthony Kilhoffer, who has worked with Kayne West and Jay-Z; as well as Dakari, a Billboard-charting producer who’s worked with artists such as Halsey and G-Eazy.
