It was a poignant moment when he drove up with his grand piano right outside the Bataclan theatre and started playing John Legend's "Imagine". It was what the city of Paris and perhaps even the world needed at that point in time.

Recognised by the European parliament for his contribution to European cooperation and the promotion of common values, Martello has been known to play in conflict zones including in Taksim Square, Afghanistan and at the the Maidan revolution in Kiev, Ukraine.
