Hi, I'm Joseph Martin, a dedicated composer and performer based in Vancouver. With a background in jazz performance and composition, I've had the pleasure of contributing to a feature-length documentary and being an integral part of an indie rock band, Bend Sinister, releasing multiple albums and EPs over the years. I love creating music that tells stories and connects with people on a deeper level. I graduated with distinction from Capilano University with a Bachelor's in Music, focusing on jazz performance and composition. Over the years, I've been recognized with several nominations for Western Canadian Music Awards, which has been both humbling and motivating. Music is not just my career; it’s my passion, and I'm always excited to take on new opportunities to grow and collaborate.
