Chris Martin (Also known as Half Decent) is a creator who doesn’t wait for an invite he builds the entire platform himself. From a BBC recognized rapper and producer ‘Half Decent’ to the Director of the national booking agency ‘Raise The Bar’.  Chris has spent 20 years proving that you can turn a creative passion into a high level career.

As an artist and producer, Chris has shared the booth and the stage with some of the UK’s most legendary names, including Chase & Status, Example, The Mouse Outfit, and Hot Chip. His own discography and collaborations feature heavyweights like KRS-One, Joell Ortiz (Slaughterhouse) and Farma G, proving he knows exactly what it takes to deliver world class bars and beats.

As a tour manager for Full Blast Booking, he has managed the “invisible infrastructure” for global rap icons, running UK tours for legends like Conway The Machine, RA The Rugged Man, Ras Kass, and Rah Digga and Cappadonna (Wu-Tang).

Whether he’s building the local scene at The Black Prince in Northampton, turning Ram Jam Records into a Kingston staple, or raising over $80,000 for mental health through the ‘Tour For Life,’ Chris’s mission is simple: Show up, build your own lane and always leave the door open for the person coming up behind you.
