His videography spans four decades and 100’s of R&B, Hip-Hop and Pop music videos.

He set the standard for creativity and authenticity. One Producer called him the “Steven Spielberg of music videos.”
Martin brought life, dance, fashion, and sophistication to urban music videos when it was desperately needed. Music videos from Big Daddy Kane, TLC, Notorious BIG, Dougie Fresh, and Bell Biv Devoe, changed the way urban artist were seen worldwide. But, the socially impactful videos like “Self Destruction”, Public Enemy’s “Nights Of The Living Baseheads” and Tupac Shakur’s “Dear Mama” truly showcased Martin’s genius.
Sean “Puffy” Combs calls Martin “The Godfather of Music Videos.” From Boyz II Men, Hi- Five, Jodeci and pop sensations like N’Sync and Backsteet Boys, Martin’s videos resonate across genres and across the world.
Martin’s talent extends beyond music videos, such as Directing the box office hit “How to Be a Player” with Bill Bellamy and the Legendary Bernie Mac. Also directing captivating commercials for Domino’s Pizza and Mountain Dew. Martin was the first to direct A-list actors, Justin Timberlake and Mark Wahlberg, showcasing his storytelling prowess.
Lionel C. Martin’s journey has been one of hard work and determination. As a member of the Directors Guild of America, his rise continues. Watch out for his upcoming television series as he cements his legacy as the original music video visionary.
