C J Martin is an English singer songwriter. He played in bands with friends from the age of 16. In 1988, after purchasing a Tascam Portastudio, he started writing and recording his own songs.
He has been on a song-writing journey ever since and has spent many hours in recording studios, using the developing technologies to explore his musical ideas.
His influences are many, including a love for Americana, classical music and British rock.
His musical taste and style is so broad that it doesn't really belong to any specific music genre, hence the title of his latest EP, 'Eclectic Wilderness'. The six songs are very different, and a wonderful pastiche of the variety he has to offer an audience.
A love of words enables him to explore an extremely wide-ranging mix of subjects in his own unique way.
A passion for live performance, with just acoustic guitar and voice allows him to balance the technology offered in modern recording studios, with the simple desire of just presenting his songs in the raw.
