Jason Martin (musician)

Jason Martin is a musician from Southern California. He is best known as a member of the indie rock band Starflyer 59, one of the first bands to sign with Tooth & Nail Records.

Martin's style of music has been dubbed "shoegazing", a word used originally in reference to the distorted electric guitar reminiscent of British bands in the late '80s and early '90s. Martin has also been a member of several side project bands, including Bon Voyage, The Pony Express, and The Brothers Martin. Martin is also credited as songwriter for fellow Tooth and Nail act Neon Horse.

Martin is a Christian and thanks "Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" on all his albums. Despite this, very few of his songs have Christian overtones. His music is based more often than not on personal issues such as work, family, friends, and his spirituality.

Jason is the only member of Starflyer 59 who has played on every Starflyer 59 album. Earlier in his life he played with his brother, Ronnie Martin, in the synthpop based Dance House Children. Jason and Ronnie reunited in the studio in 2006 to record The Brothers Martin, combining both of the current styles from Starflyer 59 and Joy Electric. The CD was released January 23, 2007.

Jason Martin (rugby league)

Jason Martin (born 14 September 1970) is an Australian retired professional rugby league footballer. Beginning his professional career in 1990, he played for the North Sydney Bears, Newcastle Knights and North Queensland Cowboys in the top tier of Rugby League in Australia before moving to Paris Saint-Germain in the European Super League.

Early career

While attending Raymond Terrace High School, Martin played for the Australian Schoolboys team in 1988.

North Sydney Bears

A Newcastle junior and Australian Schoolboy rep, Martin had a tremendous year as North Sydney Bears halfback in 1990 and was named Dally M Rookie of the Year as well as finishing second runner-up in the major gold Dally M Award. He was an important factor in the Bears' push to the premiership final in the 1991 season, but did not fare as well the following year when coach Steve Martin moved him to hooker.

An accomplished singer and guitarist, Martin released a single in 1991 called "Take Me to the Top", the video of which featured clips of Martin playing for North Sydney, and several of his Bears teammates acting as a choir to sing backing vocals during the song's chorus.
