I dont get why she keeps changing her name. First it was Marta Marrero. Then she changed it to Martika, and now this? Ugh whatever honey, youre talented you dont need to be someone else.
As things go, she'll mature enough to take her original name MARTA back. Someday she'll look back on this era of having the name Vida Edit as being kinda goofy, like Prince changing, and changing, and changing his name. Oye, Marta...el cambio le pasa dentro de ti, no en un cambio de nombre ni de tener un tatuaje por el superficio. animo Marta Barerro!!!!!!
@HunterMann Prince changed his name so that he could record Independantly from Warner Bros as they owned the rights to HIS name. How must it be to have a corporation owning your name.As Martika referenced copywriting your name at a young age doesnt come into the thoughts of young artists but will come back to bite ya.
@HunterMann I hardly think she will ever have a comeback considering she is nearly 50 and was never that big in the 80's to begin with. And Prince never legally changed his name. He was using the symbol because he was still under contract to his record label and couldn't use the name Prince for any musical projects. When his contract was up he began using the name Prince again.
@hfxmusicman Martika wasn't even her real name....it was an ambiguous compilation of her first name....and all of her second names. So she changed her first fake name into her second fake name.
Let's hope she eventually finds herself. I've been around for a long time, and have been through some shit......but I am secure in the name my parents gave me.
@waxmanite All the names changes is pretentious as hell but you have no idea what you're talking about. Her name is Marta, "Martika" is a nickname, in Spanish it simply means "Little Marta." This whole business you say of being a "compilation of her first name and all her second names" is nonsense.
@waxmanite I'm not sure which "image change" to which you are referring..? I've seen clips and the trailer for "J8ded"; she looks like the same Martika.
Sooo happy to hear from her again!! Viva responded to not one, but two emails I sent her a few years ago. She is so amazingly sweet and nice! <3 her!!

@metronomic1 she's 41 dude, kinda far off from 50. I guess if you're 21 you're nearly 30?

Why did she change her name? Martika is such a cool name IMO. I loved her back in the day.
