Martin Purvis is a singer-songwriter from the North East of England whose music draws on dark country, Americana and folk, coloured by the crooners and storytellers he grew up listening to.

Entirely self-taught, Purvis writes, performs and records his music independently, with songs exploring the darker corners of life - murder, outlaws, gambling, addiction, isolation, regret, Hell and the Devil. His distinctive vocal style has drawn comparisons from listeners to both Frank Sinatra and Johnny Cash, while some have mistaken his original songs for genuine recordings from the mid-twentieth century.

Purvis's music found a wider audience through NCRR440, the in-game radio station in Fallout: New California. His connection with the Fallout community has continued since, including So Very Far From Home appearing on the Pioneer Saloon: The Fallout Era vinyl compilation.

With nearly half a million Spotify streams, Purvis continues to write, record and perform independently from his home in Gateshead.
