BIOGRAPHY
Phoenix J (a translation of her Chinese name "Hong") a.k.a. Joan Martin, is a Singapore born, UK based performing singer-songwriter.

A self-taught musician, Phoenix progressed from singing in choirs in her native Singapore to running her own Firebird studio... and finding herself alongside Elton John in the top 40 charts with her debut release Binary Star.

Her self-produced and released Asian Top 40 debut CD 'Binary Star' on Firebird Music was a blend of modern-traditional music, world-ethnic instrumentation and a variety of arrangements ranging from classical and ambient to dance trance to pop. Her second release "Junkk", also under Firebird, has been likened to that of Madonna and Bjork, but her influences are even more eclectic. "It takes the blend of Western pop, R&B dance and Asian influences she explored in Binary Star to another level. Lovers of alternative music, dance and even rock will also find plenty of tasty riffs and touches." (Zach Trax)

In live performances, Phoenix J has entranced capacity crowds from the UK Coventry Skydome Arena in a set supported by 50 dancers to a traditionally rock crowd at the world-renowned Whisky A Gogo on LA's Sunset Boulevard. She has a thrilling stage presence, complemented by spine-tingling and heartfelt vocals.

Having toured globally, and along the way garnering accolades such as winning Best Dance Song in the US Just Plain Folks Music Awards, Best Female Pop Artist in the Singapore National Arts Council Radio Jam Awards, as well as voted a UK Top 5 on Freeserve's Wanadoo Discoveries and Panartist Most Wanted, she has now settled in the rural West of the UK. From here she released her second solo album, Junkk, whilst also fronting for London-based electro-rock band greenhaus* and recording on their album "You're Not Alone"..

This critically-acclaimed collaboration has a global following, enticed by their sonic wall of sound, complemented with Phoenix’s ethereal stage presence and vocals.

Her latest solo musical evolution goes back to her acoustic roots. And in her Second Life incarnation as Phoe Nix, she travels a new stage of her journey of musical self-discovery online, presenting songs in a soulful and jazzy style, with heartfelt vocals, self-accompanied on piano.

On the producer side, Phoenix J is especially thrilled to have been interviewed by Editor Paul White for Sound on Sound, one of UK's premier music creators magazines, who has described her as "clearly talented." A real compliment to the breadth of her musical abilities and talents. Read Phoenix J's SOUND ON SOUND interview.
