早期生活
Martina出生在堪薩斯州的小城Sharon，她的父親是一位農場主。在她很小的時候，父親的薰陶使她產生對鄉村音樂的熱愛，逐漸也愛上了唱歌。每當放學後，她會花上幾個小時跟著瑞芭·麥肯泰爾、琳達·朗絲黛、裘絲·紐頓、佩茜·克萊恩等流行鄉村音樂歌手的專輯唱歌。在八九歲的時候，她開始在父親組的樂隊"The Schiffters"中演唱，隨著樂隊的發展，Martina也從簡單的唱歌到開始演奏鍵盤，她很喜愛這段早期的表演生涯。
後來，Martina逐漸開始和堪薩斯州當地的搖滾樂團"The Penetrators"合作。隨後的1987年，她聚集了一些音樂人，以"Lotus"為名開始進行創作。她因租用了一間工作室當做排練空間而結識了這間工作室的主人，一個名叫John McBride的音響師。1988年，Martina和John結婚。
與丈夫John McBride婚後，這對夫妻搬到了田納西州的納什維爾，希望開始真正的鄉村音樂事業。John成為了加思·布魯克斯的一名音響工程師，後來成為了他的演唱會經管人，Martina也會偶爾來幫助丈夫銷售加思·布魯克斯的紀念品。
1990年，布魯克斯被Martina的熱心感動，讓她在自己的首演中獲得一席之地，幫她獲得了唱片契約。在這段時間裡，John和鄉村藝術家Charlie Daniels和Ricky Van Shelton合作，但他依舊抽空幫助Martina製作她的Demo帶，這使Martina在1991年的時候獲得了與RCA Nashville Records公司的一紙契約。
音樂事業
1992–1995Martina在1992年發行了個人的第一張錄音室專輯《The Time Has Come》，這張專輯融合了酒吧音樂和鄉村民謠的風格，主打歌在鄉村音樂排行榜上取得了23位的成績，但接下來的兩隻單曲成績卻不盡人意，都未能進入到Top40。
《The Way That I Am was》是Martina的第二張專輯，這張專輯的前兩單都使她進入了鄉村榜的Top10，其中"My Baby Loves Me"取得了第二名的好成績，但三單"Independence Day"沒有如預期中進入前十，因為許多電台管理員反對歌曲的主題，但"Independence Day"依舊獲得了美國鄉村音樂協會頒發的“年度最佳音樂錄影帶獎”，也使這首歌曲的作曲人格雷·彼得斯贏得了葛萊美獎最佳鄉村歌曲作曲獎的提名，Martina在1995年的格萊美頒獎典禮上演唱了這首歌曲。1995–1999
1995年，第三張專輯《Wild Angels》的問世，使Martina得到了音樂生涯中的第一個冠軍單
1997年初，Martina分別和克林特·布萊克、金·布里克曼推出合唱歌曲"Still Holding On"和"Valentine"。之後她推出了專輯《Evolution》，其中"A Broken Wing"使她又一次拿到了鄉村榜的冠軍單曲，還有其他四首歌曲也都進入了Top10，分別是"Valentine",、"Happy Girl"、 "Wrong Again" （同樣拿到冠單）和"Whatever You Say"。
《White Christmas》1998年，Martina推出了一張聖誕專輯《White Christmas》，其中"O Holy Night"進入榜單第一名，並且在2001年重回榜單。98年底《Evolution》這張唱片以在美國超過200萬的銷量得到了由唱片工業協會認證的"雙白金專輯"榮譽。
1999年，Martina也獲得了鄉村音樂協會獎頒發的“年度最佳女歌手”榮譽，同年為時任美國總統比爾·柯林頓表演。1999–2003
Martina的第五張個人專輯《Emotion》於1999年面世，它的打榜單曲"I Love You"成為告示牌鄉村榜單第一位，並且進入成人抒情榜單，隨後其他歌曲也取得了不錯的成績， "Love's the Only House" 和"There You Are"都在鄉村電台榜中進入Top10.
《Greatest Hits》2001年，Martina發行了她第一張精選集《Greatest Hits》，這張專輯成為由美國唱片工業協會認證的3×白金唱片，也是她有史以來銷量最高的專輯，這張精選集囊括了之前幾乎所有的熱門歌曲，同時也收錄進了4首新歌，全部進入2001—2003鄉村榜的Top10，分別是"Women Get the Blues"、"Blessed" (她的第五首冠軍單曲), "Where Would You Be" 和"Concrete Angel"。2003–2005
2003年，為了慶祝她邁入的新階段，Martina推出了第六張個人專輯《Martina》。第一單曲"This One's for the Girls"在鄉村榜上排名第3，在成人抒情榜上成為她第一支冠軍單曲。這張專輯的和聲部分由Faith Hill、Carolyn Dawn Johnson還有Martina的小女兒們Delaney和Emma完成。單曲 "In My Daughter's Eyes"同時進入鄉村榜和成人抒情榜的Top5，另外還有"How Far"以及"God's will"同樣取得了不錯的成績。
2004年，Martina第四次獲得由美國鄉村音樂協會頒發的“年度最佳女歌手獎”，其他三次分別在1999,2002,2003年，平了瑞芭·麥肯泰爾對這一項榮譽保持的記錄。
2005年，Martina推出了她的又一張錄音室專輯《Timeless》，在這張專輯中，Martina翻唱了許多鄉村音樂經典，比如漢克·威廉士的"you win Again"， 羅莉·林恩的 "You Ain't Woman Enough"，以及克里斯·克里斯多佛森的"Help Me Make It Through the Night"。為了使這張唱片更加擁有懷舊風格，Martina和她的丈夫John雇用了許多年長的納什維爾球員以及過時的模擬訓練設備。這張專輯在不到一周的時間裡就售出超過250,000張，刷新了自己唱片的銷售記錄。
2006年，Martina擔任“加拿大偶像”的評審
2007年，Martina推出了第八張專輯《Waking Up Laughing》，主打歌"Anyway"獲得了告示
