A singer-songwriter with a gift for emotionally compelling storytelling, Martin Leroux transforms the stories of his unique multicultural upbringing into deeply relatable folk-pop gems.

The Tokyo-based artist made his debut with the “Parks and Cafeteria” EP in 2010, and has maintained a steady presence on the Japanese music scene ever since.

His latest releases - the pop-rock anthem “Red Light” and throwback folk ballad “Butterskies” - find Leroux branching out into other genres while firmly rooted in his earthy acoustic-pop sound.

A self-described “Third Culture Kid,” Martin was raised in Japan to French and Filipino parents. Fittingly, his songs often explore the search for meaning, self-acceptance, and belonging.

And while he is clearly inspired by the classic singer/songwriters such as Tracy Chapman, James Taylor, and Joni Mitchell, Martin writes and sings with a distinctly modern voice.
