Lenny Martinez

Lenny Martinez is 30 years old and born in Honduras, but has been living in Denmark from he was 14 years old. Originally he comes from Cuba and if you listen when he talks, you can hear a touch of Cuban-accent – which can be very charming, but also a bit difficult to understand even for Isam and Waqas sometimes! He is mathematically student from the Avedøre grammar school, and graduated as mathematical student. He studied cand.negot together with Isam at the Odense University, didn’t finished it either but maybe has plans about going back in the future. 

Lenny only rap in Spanish, because he thinks that’s what his best at, and are then letting Waqas and Isam do the English part. That is probably also a good idea, because Lenny can’t pronounce the difference in Beach and Bitch when he’s singing, according to Isam and Waqas it would sound a bit weird, then sentences such as – Let’s go the Bitch….? Would appear on their album.  

Lenny was actually the one, who found the name Outlandish. Originally their group was called YGB, (Young, Gifted and Brown), because it was very popular with shortenings in hip-hop at that time.  But the guys didn’t felt it described them very good or was very catchy, so one day they were discussing a possible name while they were hanging out at Lenny’s house. He was just flicking through the pages in a Danish dictionary, and by accident or luck, his eyes stuck at the word Outlandish. Meaning something different, peculiar, strange, foreign and exotic – The name immediately became a reality.  Lenny is the practical guy in the group, usually describing himself as “The Body “of the group.

He carries a natural sense of order and logic; therefore he’s the one who does all the practical stuff, organising and putting things together.   In his spare time Lenny play’s football as a forwarder in the club named “Grønne Stjerne” (Green Star), and should be quite good at it according to his team-mates. Lenny just recently got married to his girlfriend Jamilla in a catholic church in Denmark and went to Miami celebration their honeymoon.
