Nashville, TN – Apple Martin, daughter of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, made a surprise appearance onstage at Nashville’s Cannery Hall on Friday, October 17th, performing with the band Jade Street. The 21-year-old showcased her new collaboration with musicians Eli Meyuhas and Zachery Zwelling, who formed Jade Street at Vanderbilt University, where Martin is currently a senior.
According to *The Vanderbilt Hustler*, Martin’s father, Chris Martin, was present in the audience during the performance. The Grammy Award-winning singer reportedly clarified that while he enjoyed interacting with fans, his primary focus was to support his daughter.
A TikTok recording of the performance reveals Martin’s clear soprano voice as she sings “Satellites” accompanied by a band featuring guitar players. She wore a white tank top and black skirt during the performance.
The family’s personal life has recently been marked by significant transitions. Paltrow recently detailed the difficulty of Apple’s departure for college, stating in an exclusive interview with *Us Weekly* in 2022 that the experience resembled a “heartbreak” due to their close relationship. She added that seeing her daughter happy and well-adjusted has been crucial to navigating the change.
Martin has recently been gaining traction in the fashion industry, most recently securing a major deal as the new face of Self-Portrait. She recently partnered with her mother in a Gap campaign and emphasized the importance of hard work in an interview with *The Telegraph*, stating, “I constantly remind myself how grateful I am to have these opportunities. I know this is not a normal way to grow up by any means.”
Despite her high-profile background, Martin continues to prioritize a “normal college experience” and maintains a grounded approach by spending time with friends, including enjoying “reality TV with my friends” and engaging in casual musical sessions.
