Electro-pop artist Shy Martin first gained attention as a songwriter -- she wrote the Chainsmokers' "All We Know" and Mike Perry's "The Ocean" -- before launching a career as a performing artist with singles of her own. Slick production and an abundance of laid-back hooks made Martin's songs pop, and output like the 2020 EP Sad Songs and a plethora of singles all had multi-millions of streams.

Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Shy Martin -- who was born Sara Hjellström -- had her first hit when she wrote "Perfect Touch" for Josh Phillips in 2015. Her big breakthrough was Mike Perry's "The Ocean," which became a Swedish smash in 2016. Its success helped kick-start Martin's recording career, which she began in earnest in 2017 with the release of "A Little Longer," quickly followed by "Good Together." In addition to a Grand Prize win at the 2017 Denniz Pop Awards, she was featured on Timeflies' hit "Raincoat," followed by several more solo singles in 2018, including the hits "Forget to Forget" and "Lose You Too." These singles were collected in the form of six-song EP Overthinking in December of 2018, tacking on bonus track "Spaceship" to pad out the previously released material. Martin returned in 2019 with new songs "Out of My Hands," "Same Old," and "Make Us Never Happen," and collaborated that year on multiple tracks with Boy in Space. The next year she released second EP Sad Songs, and in 2021 continued issuing singles like "Remember You Were the One" and "Feelings." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
