Revealing more on his track, Martin confides, “Wizkid, Tems, and Omah Lay are some of my favorite Afrobeats artists right now. This genre is so important, because it’s a part of something much bigger than just music – it’s an entire movement happening right in front of our eyes! I feel that music should represent positivity as much as possible and when I listen to Afrobeats that’s what I see portrayed most. “Fill My Cup” isn’t about alcohol or anything that can harm you; it’s about love and filling your cup up with God, knowledge, understanding, peace, love, and everything positive! I wanted to make a feel-good song you can spend summer nights driving around to.”
Darius Martin grew up in the American Southwest with roots in El Paso, Texas and Alamogordo, New Mexico. After moving to Los Angeles, Martin got his degree from the Los Angeles Film Institute. “Fill My Cup” is his new single.
