Martha Wainwright is an American singer-songwriter of Canadian origin. She is the sister of Rufus Wainwright and daughter of singer-songwriters Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle. Although born in New York, Martha Wainwright grew up in Montréal, Canada, with her mother and brother. The passion for music runs in the family, so Martha also tries to find her way. The beginning is difficult, in fact for several years she cut her teeth as a backing singer for her better-known brother Rufus and sporadically collaborating with her mother, aunt and father. In 1988 his song Tommy, come back (Tommy, reviens in the French version), accompanies the end credits of the Canadian film Tommy Tricker and the Magic Stamp, a film in which his brother also participatedboth as an actor and as composer and performer of the main theme, entitled I'm a Runnin. However, his debut album did not arrive until 2005. It was critically acclaimed and was also distributed in several European and Asian countries. Among the most recent and interesting collaborations is the one with the British group Snow Patrol, with whom he recorded the single Set the Fire to the Third Bar at 2006. In May 2008, he released his second album: I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too. From 2009 is Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, à Paris: Martha Wainwright's Piaf Recorda live album in which Martha pays homage to Edith Piaf.
