Francisco Martin was born and raised in the Bay Area in a musically fertile household. Self-taught as a child, Francisco mastered drums, guitar, piano, and several other instruments, taking his talent to local stages while playing with musicians several years his senior. He later earned the title ‘writer-producer’ as he began to dabble in poetry and experiment with SoundCloud, where he amassed a following for his original renditions of favorite covers.
Francisco first shot to fame with American Idol season 18 in 2020 where he placed Top 5. From there, he quickly released a few singles before embarking on a fall coast-to-coast tour. His heart-on-sleeve soulful pop has garnered favorable comparisons to songwriter artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:4EzkuveR9pLvDVFNx6foYD" data-name="James Bay">James Bay</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0hEurMDQu99nJRq8pTxO14" data-name="John Mayer">John Mayer</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4NZvixzsSefsNiIqXn0NDe" data-name="Maggie Rogers">Maggie Rogers</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6eUKZXaKkcviH0Ku9w2n3V" data-name="Ed Sheeran">Ed Sheeran</a>. To date, Francisco has released his well-received debut EP, Beautiful Ramblings of a Restless Mind followed by a 6-song EP called Manic where he emerged with his first true artistic statement — a bold collection of emotionally raw pop-rock reflecting his personal struggles with mental health. While touring, post-EP, Francisco found himself writing and producing his next project, a blend of retro-soul, bedroom pop, low-fi, and pop soundscapes highlighting Francisco’s signature dreamy falsetto and robust belting yet moving into the lighter-hearted territory of songs like “<a href="spotify:track:1ggeREUEQo2Qt5prF16UsX" data-name="Passenger Princess">Passenger Princess</a>”, "<a href="spotify:album:4isNJyjkK265rBCya1Zl5W" data-name="Lily">Lily</a>", and "Breakfast for Dinner".
