THANKYOUMARTINO (born March 11, 1997) is an artist, storyteller, and performer carving his lane through soulful R&B, acoustic vulnerability, and raw emotion. Born in Long Beach, CA and raised in Victorville and Pomona, his roots are deeply embedded in LA culture—echoing the sounds and spirit of icons like Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Usher, and Chris Brown.
 

At just 16 years old, his career took a major turn when he was discovered and signed by LA rapper Kid Ink, joining his indie label Bat Gang. Soon after, he made his major-label debut on the 2015 album Full Speed, appearing on the track "The Show Must Go On" alongside Kid Ink and Machine Gun Kelly, under the name Math Allen. This marked his first global introduction, showing off not just his vocal range but his presence as a dancer and performer—earning early comparisons to pop royalty.
 

Over time, THANKYOUMARTINO expanded beyond the mic, evolving as a writer, creative director, and producer, with collaborations alongside Sean Kingston, IV, Jason Derulo, and Tomi Saario. His ability to move between genres, from smooth hooks to sharp pen work, quickly built a reputation for versatility and originality.
 

In 2025, TYM's journey took an unexpected but powerful turn. He starred as "Lucas" in the viral YouTube series The Pink Courtroom, produced by Pretty Little Things. His performance—equal parts emotional and magnetic—sparked massive attention: over 10 million views, and a 20K surge in Instagram followers within weeks. While fans connected to the character, they were introduced to the real voice behind the screen.
 

“It’s been surreal,” TYM  says. “I’ve been locked in the studio writing songs about heartbreak, guilt, and healing… then all of a sudden I’m going viral for a skit. But it’s all connected.”
 

Today, THANKYOUMARTINO stands at the edge of something bigger—a new chapter, told through acoustic folk-inspired R&B, heartfelt visuals, and a sound that’s less about fame and more about truth, vulnerability, and evolution. Whether it’s on a stage, a screen, or in your headphones—he’s only getting started.
