Martin Hall is a multi-instrumentalist composer and music producer who's broad range of work spans from producing heartfelt indie-pop to scoring movies and video games.
Raised on the west coast of Sweden with its idyllic mix of coastal and woodland surroundings, he was introduced to classical piano music at an early age by his mother, who also was his first teacher. He later went on to explore different genres, playing in bands inspired by the grunge era greats such as <a href="spotify:artist:5xUf6j4upBrXZPg6AI4MRK" data-name="Soundgarden">Soundgarden</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6olE6TJLqED3rqDCT0FyPh" data-name="Nirvana">Nirvana</a>. Hearing <a href="spotify:artist:4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb" data-name="Radiohead">Radiohead</a>'s ‘OK Computer’ for the first time together with a couple of friends in the late 90s made a huge impact, ultimately planting a musical seed that later would lead him away from the jazz route he had planned to travel.
During his time at Gothenburg University studying jazz improvisation, he started to get regular work in studios around Gothenburg recording and producing all kinds of music from thrash metal to jazz to pop. For a long time post graduating he played and recorded with different bands, frequently working as a touring musician with artists like <a href="spotify:artist:6xrCU6zdcSTsG2hLrojpmI" data-name="José González">José González</a> , <a href="spotify:artist:0MGJBcGDyvsk2Qczlmvx8W" data-name="Fibes, Oh Fibes!">Fibes, Oh Fibes!</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2pRRvc1D9seqK4txoe8laT" data-name="sir Was">sir Was</a>.
In this first outing as a solo artist, “I write to fill a void. To find something that hasn't been heard yet. Often I get some spontaneous lyrics at an early stage and I can build the track around that. Sometimes really weird stuff can inspire you. Love, death, alienation, growing up, never growing up, the passing of time, heaven and hell.”
