Producer Kraans de Lutin recognized what a skilled songwriter Jondo was, and signed him to his Homeground label. He received an offer to join Gentleman's outfit but Jondo didn't want to sing over the Jamaica-sourced riddims he was offered, preferring instead to write his own music. This led to Jondo appearing on the DVD Gentleman and the Far East Band Live, released in 2002. When Jondo delivered his original composition "Rainbow Warrior," the crowd responded so positively that Gentleman gave his merchandiser his own spot in the show for the rest of the tour. Eventually, Gentleman took a chance on Jondo and brought him on-stage. In 2002 he joined future German reggae star Gentleman on tour, not as a musician but as a merchandiser selling T-shirts to the fans. Born in Berlin to a Korean mother and a German father, singer Martin Jondo came to reggae music thanks to a teenage interest in Rastafari culture.
