Martin Andrzej Rolinski (born on June 23, 1982) is a Swedish singer and the lead singer of the Swedish synthpop band Bodies Without Organs (now known as BWO).[1] An only child, he was raised in Göteborg, Sweden, although both of his parents are from Poland and he speaks fluent Polish.

Rolinski started his music career in 2001 when he made a bet with his friends to go on an audition for Popstars, a TV reality show searching for new artists. He made it to the final group, but was eliminated in the middle of the season not joining the winning group Supernatural. However after Popstars in 2002, Martin worked with Anders Hansson, who was in contact with Alexander Bard. Through Hansson, Rolinski got in touch with Bard, and Roliński subsequently became the lead singer of Bard's new band Bodies Without Organs together with Marina Schiptjenko and Bard himself.

Martin has studied automation and mechatronics at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. He married his fiancée, Katarina Jansson, on September 20, 2008.
