“I feel like I’m just still taking it one step at a time where everything is going at a normal pace for me,” Martin revealed in
a recent interview with Galore Magazine. “I honestly don’t think it really has done something just yet because I am being myself. I don’t really see it as like, ‘oh, I did something huge,’ I really do see it as, ‘oh, it’s something cool that I did and there were so many people involved.’ I think a lot people that are in the industry think that way as well because they are really just being themselves.”
