Justin Martin is an electronic music artist and DJ from San Francisco who has been creating music since the early 2000s. Co-founder of Dirtybird Records along with his mentor and fellow DJ Claude VonStroke, he has worked with various artists as a producer and has developed a reputation as a champion for the dance music culture of San Francisco that has always taken a backseat to the city's rock and roll roots. Since releasing his first album, The San Piano, in 2003 with the help of a broad cast of characters, he earned international acclaim in EDM hubs like Berlin and London, before dropping his debut solo record, Ghettos & Gardens, in 2012.
