Coming from a musical background, Martin read drama at Manchester University. Fortunately for the acting profession, he decided to concentrate his energies on writing music. Since scoring his first TV drama Eureka Street in 2002, he has gone on to write music for many of the most interesting series of recent years, winning 2 BAFTAs and 3 Ivor Novello Awards.
Martin has moved into film, scoring Weinstein Company's much anticipated Woman In Gold with Hans Zimmer, starring Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren, and previous to that Harry Brown and Brighton Rock. In 2014 Martin had two feature film scores premiering at the Toronto Film Festival; Daniel Barber's US indie The Keeping Room, and Morgan Matthew's X Plus Y.
Additionally, Martin has set up Mearl, a project to facilitate collaborating with other artists and composers, as well as a platform for developing his own material. Peaky Blinders was the first soundtrack under this name, scored with a band of musicians from Radiohead's new Laundry Studios in London Fields.
