Pianist, composer and multimedia artist Martin Tchiba was born in 1982 in Budapest and has been living in Germany since 1985. In his early years his artistic prowess quickly attracted attention.

Recently, his social-media piano concerts "WIReless" at Tonhalle Düsseldorf and "Netzwellen" at Saarländischer Rundfunk have attracted attention. His individual "programme compositions" in which he combines contemporary music with the classical and romantic repertoire have gained much recognition, too. His compositions have been performed at renowned venues and festivals (including Gaudeamus Music Week in Amsterdam, aDevantgarde Festival in Munich, Hungarian Radio Budapest, "Schönes Wochenende" in Düsseldorf, eviMus Festival in Saarbrücken and many others). Tchiba has made a vast number of live and studio recordings and broadcasts for radio and television (including WDR Cologne, SWR, SR, Bayerischer Rundfunk, Hessischer Rundfunk, Deutschlandradio Kultur, the Hungarian and Dutch broadcasting services and many others). The Dutch Television made recordings at the "Bimhuis" in Amsterdam. "RBB Kulturradio" (Berlin), "SR 2 KulturRadio" and "RTS Espace 2" (Switzerland) aired detailed portraits of the pianist and composer.

His CDs, released for the Naxos, Telos, Hungaroton, Challenge Classics and Spektral labels, received many positive reviews in international music magazines (BBC Music Magazine, Gramophone, Diapason, Le Monde de la Musique, Fono Forum, Rondo, Ritmo, Musik & Theater Zürich, Het Parool Amsterdam, Die Zeit, Neue Musikzeitung, Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, American Record Guide and others). His recording of the "Fantasie" Op. 116 No. 4 by Johannes Brahms got listened to more than 18 million times on Spotify. In 2019 his CD with the complete piano music of the composer Johannes Kreidler was released (in cooperation with SWR Baden-Baden) and was broadcast by many leading radio stations in Europe. In October 2021 his new CD "Martin Tchiba: klang collection (electroacoustic compositions)" came out on the emt EDITION MARTIN TCHIBA label.
