Depending on who you speak with, Martha Marlow is either an established painter, or one of the most alluring young singer/songwriters in Australia.

Growing up in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs, surrounded by a family of musicians, Martha Marlow forged her way into music via an unlikely path; her love of books.  After burning through classic works from Emily Dickinson, Tolstoy and musically; the back catalogues of Billie Holiday, John Coltrane, Joni Mitchel and the Beatles, Marlow began crafting her own original works.

Inspired by fellow Australians like Julia Jacklin, Gurrumul, Didirri and Angie McMahon as well as acts including Weyes Blood, Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers, Martha Marlow crafts her original songs that are filled with vulnerability and hope.
