Marta came to New York in 2011 from Madrid with a Fulbright Scholarship to study for a Master's in Jazz Piano Performance at NYU. Since then, she has released four quintet albums: “Partenika” (2015), “Danza Imposible” (2017), “El Rayo de Luz” (2019), and SAAM (Spanish American Art Museum). ”Partenika” was selected by The New York Times as one of the 10 best albums of 2015, and included on the lists of the best recordings of the year from the Jazz Journalist Association, Downbeat and All Music. “Danza Imposible” was highly praised by NPR’s “Fresh Air” and received four stars from DownBeat. “El Rayo de Luz” was included in the The New York Times list of the Best 10 jazz albums of 2019. 

Marta recently released a new trio record titled “Perpetual Void” on the Intakt label. The album has been widely praised, including receiving 4.5 stars from Downbeat.

Marta has toured the United States, Europe, South America, and Central America, performing at the North Sea Jazz Festival (Netherlands), Jazzaldia (San Sebastian), Inntone (Austria), and Winter Jazz Festival (New York). Furthermore, Marta has been working in David Murray's Quartet, Maria Grand's duo, and the Anna Weber and Angela Morris Big Band, among others. She is a 2017 and 2021 MacDowell Colony fellow.
