Martin considers himself a creative type – starting a video blog at 19 years of age, always trying to find crazy things to do. The success of his blog came as a surprise, turning him into a well known personality in France. You only need to take one look at his instagram to get a glimpse into his somewhat enviable lifestyle.
Born in Paris, Martin grew up in Ibiza, Spain and made the move to LA when he was 19. A little while after starting his blog, he was hired by his sponsors as a consultant for their digital strategies and for 3 years acted as the head of communications for DJ Bob Sinclar. “It was very intense but we did a great job!” He says about working alongside one of highest paid DJ’s in the world.

One of the other things you might not know about the extremely modest Mr Medus is that his girlfriend is gorgeous model; Natasha Oakley who he admits to not being able to travel without – naturally – along with his Givenchy leather jacket, his Sandro pants and his Heschung black leather boots.
Although I have a lot of clothes (like, a lot), I feel best in a simple outfit. Dark blue jeans, a white or black tee, black boots, silver bracelets and I’m good to go.
Sydney one week, LA the following, how does he manage to keep his style in check? “When I don’t feel like carrying an overweight suitcase, I just take the essentials and run in a Levi’s shop to buy a black tee.” Laughs Martin, who describes his personal style in 3 words; rock, sharp and dandy.
Keep your eye out for him in 2015. He’s currently working on his own jewellery line. After 2 years, he assures it’s a strong concept, a prototype people are loving and he can’t wait to put it out there. Overall, more travels, more pictures and hopefully things he does not yet know about!
