Giles Martin is an album producer. He is the son of Sir George Martin, the producer of most of The Beatles records. The albums Giles has produced have sold millions of copies worldwide.

A widely talented songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Giles has toured extensively across Europe as a musician and music director. From writing jingles while in college, Giles has written extensively for television in the UK. In 1995, he was appointed Co-Music Director for the popular international television and radio music countdown show, "The Great Music Experience." He followed his success in that position with the extremely high profile "Party at the Palace" concert to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, for which he also produced the album and the DVD.

Most recently, Giles collaborated with his father to craft the music of the Beatles into a soundscape for LOVE, a theatrical production of Cirque du Soleil, opening in Las Vegas, Nevada in June of 2006.

Giles breakthrough in production came with the multimillion selling UK based band, Kula Shaker. This success paved the way to a career that has included work with some of the worlds’ most renowned musicians. Among his production and mixing credits are The Beatles, Jeff Beck, Elvis Costello, INXS and Kate Bush. In 2004 Giles produced the multi-platinum album “Pure”, the UK’s fastest selling classical album of all time.

Giles is managed by Adam Sharp at C.A.Management (www.camanagement.co.uk).
