Rising Stars: Meet Marty Hart of Hampton

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marty Hart

Hi Marty, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
His name is Marty “Codebluu” Hart, and he is the CEO of HartBoyz Musik Group. Codebluu was born in Wurzburg, Germany, and relocated to the United States as a child. Being raised in Iowa and relocating to Atlanta, GA, in 2014, Codebluu has interacted with people from all walks of life. Aside from being the owner, Codebluu is also a writer, engineer, and composer/producer for the company. With a sound that can only be described as a perfect mix of East Coast lyricism, Dirty South club music, and West Coast realism, he is gradually gaining momentum in the music industry.

Having spent most of his formative years traveling extensively as part of a military family, Codebluu draws from his many experiences, whether painful or productive, to create music that is a true reflection of the life he is living. As a young boy, he struggled with shyness until one day, during lunch at Waterloo East High School, his dreams became stronger than his fears. He stepped out of his shell to unleash the hottest 16 bars his boys had ever heard. Today, Codebluu is a far cry from the shy young boy he once was. It was while he was still a student at East High School that he joined forces with a few childhood friends to form Foul Mouf Records and started recording in their basements. He chose the name “Codebluu,” a derivative of the medical term for “critical care needed,” when, after his first public performance in that cafeteria, he noticed the shocked looks and gasps of surprise amongst his classmates. He thought that since his rhyming skills were strong enough to leave people breathless, Codebluu would be a fitting name, and true to his name, he would soon become the remedy for what his fans were missing in their music collections

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
lol course not. I have faced many obstacles over the years, some personal and some business related. I think being a musician comes with its own challenges whether it is financial, trying to pay for studio time and things of that nature to trying to find yourself as an artist. I have experienced them all. Label deals that fell through, songs that could change my career that got blocked due to clearance issues and group squabbles that stop your forward progress.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I would consider myself a one man army at this point. I started out only rapping and writing music but over the years I have branched out quite a bit.

I am a certified Dolby Atmos mixing Engineer with affiliation to Derek Ali’s EnginerEars platform.

I produce music for films and tv as well as tracks for myself and other artists.

I’ve also ventured into film and videography projects.

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
I love Transformers! That’s been my favorite cartoon since I was a kid. I have a collection that is showcased in my studio. I have some classic joints from the 90s still in their original boxes. I tell my wife all the time, my two favorite things were created in 1984, her and Transformer lol.
