Miss Acoustic

Virtuoso guitarist Frans JC Martins, known as St.J. by friend and foe, started playing music early in life. He diversified on instruments playing piano, drums, guitar and clarinet. Guitar having always been the favourite, it was only natural that this became his main instrument.

The 80's 90's was also the period during which he was seen on stage with various Top40/ Cover bands. Bored with playing covers he got involved doing original music with Glaze (ex Simpliciti) a hard rock original band in the early 2000's. During the same period he completed the line-up of Atmosphere Control Unit (ACU), an electronic based trio in the Cyber Punk genre.

Alternate Minds Studios, which was built in 2002 by St.J. provided the means to record St.J's first solo album under the name St.J. - Prophesy Project, entitled "Beginnings" in 2008/ 2009 and is also the home where much of the second album "Desert Rain" was recorded in 2012. Both albums are well received and enjoy airplay on radio world-wide.
