Jon Martin is a songwriter, producer, and musician from southern Alberta. He studied music and music psychology at the degree and master's level, spent years running a recording studio in Lethbridge producing records for other artists, and relocated to Edmonton in early 2021. Producer Gethin Pearson (Charli XCX, Badly Drawn Boy) described his music as "timeless capsules... whilst also feeling fresh and from your life." 
 
His 2022 album This Could Be Our Year — self-produced and built around an international cast of collaborators — was named one of the Edmonton Journal's 10 Best Local Releases of the year and was jury-selected for the Edmonton Public Library's Capital City Records collection in 2024. Over seven full-length albums and several EPs, his records have earned airplay across Canada, including on CBC Radio One. Part-Time Hero, a collaborative R&B-leaning duet released in March 2026, marks a different direction. Also in March 2026, a live concert in Edmonton was recorded for broadcast on CBC Radio One's Provincial Playlist Live. New singles are in progress, a follow-up to Late September Garden Party is in the works, and a separate album of music about space is also on the way.
