High Five subsequently moved its staff and operations to Music City in late 1994, where Martin has continued to lead the company in the development and production of series, and long form and large scale music events for a wide range of clients, including NBC, CBS, ABC, HBO, PBS, TLC, VH1, and CMT. In addition to hundreds of domestic projects, he has produced numerous specials in Germany, Ireland, England and around the world. Martin's credit list is synonymous with High Five's own, and Martin has received numerous industry awards and recognition in the course of his career.
