Martin Leung holds degrees in piano performance from Ohio's CIM with academic honors, the Yale School of Music, and a Doctorate in Musical Arts from USC.

Martin is distinguished by his pivotal role in the emergence and development of video game music as a performing art, while inspiring the appreciation of classical music. His Super Mario Medley piano performance video (2004, pre-YouTube) is referenced in The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023). This mood-lifting and iconic video--unprecedented and provocative in 2004--is also highlighted for its historic value in YouTube's documentary "Celebrating the Mario Community + 100 BILLION Views" (2023). The Super Mario Medley video was also featured in “Kamiwaza” (2023), a television show produced by TBS in Japan. His classical piano is heard on Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley movie soundtrack (2021). In 2019, he was Artist-in-Residence at the University of Michigan, where he performed a video game music piano concert.
