From Essex, UK, Martin Jackson is an accomplished composer and guitar player. With twenty five years of live performances, studio work, and song-writing experience, the UK guitarist has developed a melodic, nostalgic style of writing, taking influence from pop-punk, indie, blues, country and folk.
Martin has played hundreds of gigs in bands with various styles including indie, surf rock and pop-punk. He has played at London’s Brixton academy, festivals, and various clubs and has honed his craft being on stage and working with a range of musicians.
It was around 2010 when Martin started writing and producing library music. He is a prolific writer and has thousands of compositions published, he has many syncs on platforms such as BBC, Netflix, Disney, and in TV and film trailers.
These days you can catch Martin playing in blues bars around London, walking his pug, experimenting writing in various genres, and consistently putting out a high quality of work.
"I am always up for a challenge and have been inspired by all styles of music over the years. Switching between music styles when I write means my work continues to feel fresh and new"
“When I write music I start about four or five ideas at the same time, and keep going between them until one idea takes off.
Sometimes song ideas come to me when I'm doing something that isn't music related; I then record that idea - usually me singing into my phone in public.
What I love about writing music is being able to create something from nothing; pulling ideas from different places and turning them into a song.
I am often inspired by watching others play and their approach to music. I can switch off and experience music from the other side, in the last year this includes seeing Joe Bonamassa, Green Day and Bruce Springsteen."
