country: Canada
Eryn Martin makes music from the very fringe of pop, conjuring bangers from hip-hop beats, samba drums or any other sound that happens to evoke an emotional response. The Canadian newcomer then runs the concoction through a melodic filter that is very much her own. Songs like “Blonde” and “Namesez” with a thrilling unpredictability. After all, the 23-year-old has been making up the rules as she goes along. “I started writing songs when I was six,” Eryn remembers. “I had a cheap little acoustic guitar that I didn't know how to play.” She caught the music bug from her dad. “He was into hip hop and R&B. He played Timbaland and Missy Elliott for me, and that's where everything started.” By high school, the breakout star had discovered GarageBand and weed. “I was a big smoker, so I would get high in my room by myself and play GarageBand,” the Toronto native recalls. “I just started putting my voice over ASAP Rocky songs and Clams Casino beats. I thought it was just really cool to hear a female harmony over that.” What started as a hobby quickly became something much more when one of her friends posted one of her songs on SoundCloud. “A friend of mine put it on the internet,” she laughs. “I was always too shy. Emboldened by the positive reaction, Eryn soon ventured beyond borrowed hip-hop beats. The accidental artist soon realized her sound couldn’t be pigeonholed. Production-wise anything goes. The only common thread is her innate ability to bring pop melodies into the mix.
