I’ve always appreciated Gainsbourg, both for his music and his fashion style (bonus: he was also Jewish). While writing ‘Man About Town’ in Paris, I listened to this song a lot, and when I acquired my vintage Rhythm Ace drum machine, I recorded this cover to try out my new studio toy. Voila. (Sorry not sorry for my awful French pronunciation.)” – Mayer Hawthorne

Martin has channeled his deep love for both genres, as well as funk, soul, and classical, into his own unique sounds and built a booming production career working with rising stars and legends across genres, from Kendrick Lamar and YG to Robert Glasper, Snoop Dogg to Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones. His name was already ringing bells when, earlier this year, he won two Grammy awards for his important contributions to longtime collaborator Lamar’s brilliant 2015 album, “To Pimp a Butterfly”.
