The German tenor, Martin Koch, received his first musical training with Hamburger Knabenchor St. Nikolai and as a member of the Monteverdi-Chor Hamburg. He completed his singing studies at the Hochschule für Musik Köln, department of Aachen, with Professor Josef Protschka and with Professor Peter-Christoph Runge.

Still during his studies, Martin Koch received an engagement at the Studio der Deutschen Oper am Rhein, Düsseldorf/Duisburg, where he was selected in 1999 as the new generation singer of the year in North Rhine-Westphalia.
