[1] Realizing his commercial potential as a teen idol, Cecchetto signed him on, and Marton made his debut the following year under the pseudonym M. Basic with a single titled "Ok Run".

[3] His carefully studied look, which included flowing blond hair with a keytar over his shoulder and extra-large jackets made him instantly recognizable, and Marton became an idol for young girls.

[4] In 1989 following the release of his final top-ten single "La Paloma Blanca", Marton largely retired from the music business owing to his status as an idol, along with management issues.

[6] Having retired to private life on the island of Ibiza,[9] to which he owes his popularity, he attempted an occasional return to the scene in 1996 with a second and final album, Erase una Vez, without obtaining much success.

In 2005 he participated in the third edition of the Rai 2 reality TV show L'Isola dei famosi, which started on 21 September, but retired on 17 October citing health problems, despite there being no clinical reasons to justify the abandonment.
