Martin's apprenticeship in music came inside Toronto's nineties' eccentric indie scene. From 1995 to 1999 she played in Bob Wiseman's band, handling guitar, bass, accordion, theremin, wine glasses and found objects. This multi-instrumental resourcefulness became a signature of her performance. She released her debut, Space Woman, in 1998 and began touring Canada and Europe. Over the following years Selina became a fixture of a musical community that included the Rheostatics, Martin Tielli, Dave Bidini's Bidiniband, NQ Arbuckle, Veda Hille, Justin Rutledge and Amelia Curran. With Bidini, Tielli and Vancouver's Ford Pier, she wrote and recorded the music for the theatrical production Five Hole: Tales of Hockey Erotica, which also became an album and an animated short, and she co-wrote the score for the documentary Act of God with Bidini, Tielli and Fred Frith. She also remains an occasional member of the experimental electronic collective The Faceless Forces of Bigness.
