Ronnie Martin is a musician best known as the sole member of the synth-pop outfit Joy Electric, one of the few remaining major bands to model its music after classic electro-pop . His other works include Dance House Children (a relatively unknown techno/house group comprised of Martin and his brother Jason, who went on to form Starflyer 59), Shepherd (his rock side-project), 2 Ladds (his first effort, also featuring Jason and friend Randy Lamb), Rainbow Rider, The Brothers Martin (a pop-rock collaboration with his brother Jason) and The Foxglove Hunt. He is also the founder and previous owner of the electronic music label, Plastiq Musiq.
Martin is an analog purist, meaning he uses only analog synthesizers such as the Moog Rogue and sequences in his music. He is a self-proclaimed Christian and appeared in the movie Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?. His musical influences include Keith Green, Kraftwerk, New Order and Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and Daft Punk.
