Marty was born and raised in Bakersfield, California, the oldest son of American music icon Merle Haggard, who Marty considers "the best country singer/songwriter ever". At the time that Marty was born, his Dad was serving time in San Quentin State Prison. So Marty was raised by his grandmother in a railroad boxcar, but by the time he was 12, he had moved in with his father. Marty, Merle’s oldest son, was privileged to be a part of his Dad's career as well as chart 5 singles of his own on the Country charts and was nominated by the 1985 Academy of Country Music for the Top New Male Vocalist of the year. Unfortunately Marty's Dad passed away April 6, 2016 on his 79th birthday. He will be greatly missed by all.

Marty's love for his Dad's music inspired him to begin a project titled A Tribute to Merle Haggard "My Dad". In 2010, he cut the first album in his tribute consisting of 15 Hag classics. In 2010 he also began performing a tribute to his dad in Branson, Missouri until 2012. In 2011 he also recorded his second Tribute album to his Dad. Marty has spent the last 6 years touring and sharing his dad’s music and stories.
