About this listen

In this episode of Pop Beyond, we sit down with Irish singer-songwriter Marten James – a storyteller with a soft voice and a sharp ear.

We dive into his New Music Friday series, how he balances personal taste with audience discovery, and why songwriting often starts with memory and silence.
Marten talks about growing up in Ireland, his first real connection with music, and how social media can be both a blessing and a battle.

From lyrical goosebumps to content pressure – this is a thoughtful conversation about curating sound, staying authentic, and dreaming beyond the algorithm.
