Nievera was born on February 5, 1962, in Manila, Philippines with twin sister, Victoria, to Bert Nievera and Conchita Razon. Nievera spent most of his childhood in Hawaii with his father as his father sang for the group Society of Seven. The Nievera family also took up residence in the Bay Area in California for a short time in the late '70s. Martin attended high school in Walnut Creek, California.
Inspired by his father's talent and success, Nievera returned to the Philippines in 1982 to begin his own singing career and by June 1982 he released his first LP, Martin...Take One, with the album reaching platinum in just five months.[citation needed] Nievera began co-hosting the TV variety show Penthouse Live! with Pops Fernandez, the Philippines' "Concert Queen," who would later become his wife. Nievera's second LP, 1984's The Best Gift, also reached platinum. In 1987, Penthouse Live! was changed to Martin and Pops Twogether, in celebration of their marriage. After his marriage to Fernandez, with whom he has two sons, Ram and Robin, failed in 1998, he wrote and recorded music for the sole purpose of winning her back, which he called Forever. Even though he did not succeed, the music ended up in the hands of the public and rose to become a best-selling music collection. The two sequels, Forever Forever and Return to Forever are also about the split. Both of these albums hit platinum sales as well.
In 2001, he plagiarized "We Just Don't Know How To Say Goodbye" by Diane Warren and included it as "To Say Goodbye" in his "My Souvenirs" album compilation, which was later pulled out of the market for copyright violation lawsuit.[1]
As an actor, Nievera has an extensive acting career and has appeared or starred in eleven movies and seven television series and specials. Nievera's film credits include dramas, romance, science fiction, comedy and action.
Nievera is temporarily based in Las Vegas, Nevada with Katrina Ojeda with whom he has a son named Santino (born October 7, 2006). He had his 25th anniversary concert on September 14 and 15, 2007 at the Captain's Bar of the Mandarin Hotel in Makati.
He appeared with Hawaii's Society of Seven and Lani Misalucha at the Flamingo Las Vegas from February 13 through April 13, 2008. He performed a pre-Valentine/post-birthday concert with Pops Fernandez titled "Missing You" on February 6, 2009, at the Araneta Coliseum. Martin is also currently co-hosting the weekly music show called ASAP' 09.
On May 2, 2009, Nievera was chosen to sing the Philippine national anthem during the boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton. Although he was criticized by the National Historical Institute because of his peculiar style in performing the anthem, many of those who watched the event, including Pacquiao, defended him.
In August 2009, Martin Nievera has a concert together with Gary Valenciano for the first time in "As 1". They also both have a new album in one collaboration album.
On September 2009, Nievera suffered Dehydration after his concert on September 19, and his best friend, Gary Valenciano worried about his buddy's condition. The following day, Martin was discharged from the Hospital.
After All
Martin Nievera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all
When love is truly right
(This time is right)
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
And on the way it grows
But it never disappears
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all
Always just beyond my touch
You know I needed you so much
After all, what else is livin' for?
After all the stops and starts
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me, after all
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
Just comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be
Forever you and me
The lyrics of Martin Nievera's song "After All" speaks about two people who, after trying to live on their own, realize that fate has always destined them to be together. They have been through stops and starts, but they kept coming back to each other. They have both grown and changed individually, but their love still remains strong. The song features the idea that true love is destined to last, and regardless of how different their experiences are, their hearts will always find their way back to each other.
The opening lines of the song suggest that the couple is trying to give their relationship another chance. They have tried to move on, but deep down, they always knew they would end up back together. The singer reminisces about the start of their love journey and how everything was so new and exciting. The chorus highlights the idea that, despite their differences and the obstacles that they had faced, they had always found their way back to each other.
The post-chorus suggests that the two have been through a lot together and were only able to make it through because of each other. They have learned to depend on each other, and their love has become a safe haven from the outside world. The song ultimately celebrates the idea that true love withstands the test of time, and even though they have been through "stops and starts," they have always found their way back to each other.

Here we are again
We find ourselves back together
I guess it must be fate
Our reunion is predestined
We've tried it on our own
We attempted to make it work without each other
But deep inside we've known
However, we have always felt that we belong together
We'd be back to set things straight
We knew that we would reunite
I still remember when
I recall the time when
Your kiss was so brand new
Your kiss was fresh and new
Every memory repeats
I recall every moment vividly
Every step I take retreats
Every attempt to move on falls short
Every journey always brings me back to you
No matter where life takes me, I always end up back with you
After all the stops and starts
Despite our ups and downs
We keep coming back to these two hearts
Our hearts keep finding one another
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
Together, we have saved each other from heartbreak and loneliness
After all that we've been through
Despite all the hardships we have faced
It all comes down to me and you
The bottom line is that we have each other
I guess it's meant to be
Perhaps it was destined to happen
Forever you and me, after all
We will remain together, through thick and thin
When love is truly right
When we have found true love
(This time is right)
This moment in time is right
It lives from year to year
Our love grows and thrives year after year
It changes as it goes
Our love evolves as we continue through life together
And on the way it grows
As we journey through life, our love strengthens
But it never disappears
Despite life's challenges, our love never fades
Always just beyond my touch
You were always just out of reach
You know I needed you so much
You were someone I desperately needed in my life
After all, what else is livin' for?
What else makes life worth living if not for love?
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
Together, we have rescued each other from heartbreak and despair
After all that we've been through
Despite our struggles and obstacles
Just comes down to me and you
Ultimately, it's just about the two of us
I guess it's meant to be
Perhaps it was fate
Forever you and me
We will always be together
