Born in Hertfordshire, England in 1997, SA-based singer/songwriter Martin Gill is the answer to the common question “what do you get if you make a middle child bored at school?” His musical journey started as a drummer, before he found a love for guitar & songwriting in his late teens. Whilst completing a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Martin took his songs from the bedroom to the big time, debuting at Splashy Fen in  2018 and earning opening slots for some of South Africa’s biggest names, such as Watershed, Goodluck, Mi Casa, Neon Dreams (Canada), Matthew Mole & Jeremy Loops. 

His music has been described as a fusion of rock, folk and synth pop and his multi-instrumental background shines through in his music’s ability to fit into many alternative genres. He lists some of his biggest influences as Bruce Springsteen, LANY anc Dermot Kennedy, whose music inspires and drives Martin to try and bring change to the world through the honesty in his art.
