Ronnie Martin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronnie Martin is a musician best known as the sole member of the synthpop outfit Joy Electric, one of the few remaining major bands to model its music after classic electropop . His other works include Dance House Children (a relatively unknown techno/house group comprised of Martin and his brother Jason, who went on to form Starflyer 59), Shepherd (his rock side-project), Rainbow Rider, and The Brothers Martin (a pop rock project featuring his brother Jason [1]). He is also the founder and previous owner of the electronic music label, Plastiq Musiq.
Martin is an analog purist, meaning he uses only analog synthesizers and sequences in his music. He is a self-proclaimed Christian and appeared in the movie Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?. His musical influences include Keith Green, Kraftwerk, New Order and Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and Daft Punk.
