MARTIN LUKE BROWN

hellooo welcome to my whole ass government name artist project. i write songs because i have so much love in me that i’ll literally explode if i don’t !!

if you want a brief history of my life then here it is in bullet points

i grew up in leicester (in the uk). it’s shit but i love it

i also grew up in one of those coldplay kind of churches and that was my foundational experience of music. shame and guilt = bad but community / ceremony = good. my family used to have all sorts of people round for sunday dinners. we also had a homeless man living with us for a couple of weeks. kindness was king and i still really fuck with that as a philosophy

i signed a major deal when i was 21 and it was RUBBISH. i abandoned my intuition because i thought the cool kids with plaques on the wall knew better. i got dropped and 6 months later quit my artist project altogether

the next 5 years i started producing and writing for other artists and had some pretty mad collaborations happen. like BTS and lizzy mcalpine and james blunt lol (there’s a playlist on here somewhere)

i accidentally made my first album over lockdown with one of my best buds from back home matt zara (he’s fucked up talented) and dropped it in 2023

started the maddest side project with 3 of my besties orla gartland, dodie and greta isaac. we were called FIZZ and that era was too chaotic for words

i put out my 2nd album last year + i have more music coming this year !

i’ve ran out of characters now sorry x
