THE B-SIDE
Jastin Martin (Def Jam)
8/17/23

WHAT IT IS: Jastin Martin’s minimalist trap soul serves as a gateway to her Houston bedroom—an intimate haven where she pens and records her emotionally charged revelations. The self-taught singer-songwriter and producer’s daily routine revolves around creation, whether it’s making a fluid beat, weaving a clever lyric or crafting a delicate guitar riff. Martin has been writing songs since the age of nine, and her work ethic has taken her from the dorms of Louisiana’s Grambling State University to Houston’s freewheeling open mics to Def Jam’s roster. She struck a chord on breakout tracks “Right My Wrongs” and “Reassurance” with her soft-spoken sultriness and hard-hitting candor. Martin’s vulnerability and versatility animate her recently released debut album, Miss Me Yet?
