March 31, 2025Jules provided exactly the entertainment I requested, a Latin guitar experience for my dinner party. Everything was beautifully orchestrated. Jules was very professional and punctual. My guests were greater by the smooth melody of his guitar. I highly recommend Mr. Martinez.

November 21, 2024We hired Jules at our restaurant and boy did our guests enjoy him. He elevated our guests dining experience with his beautiful music and had the perfect choice of songs for the vibe of the evening. He was incredibly easy to work with and arrived with plenty of time for set up. We have already booked him for the 3rd time and highly recommend him. Jules is truly a talented guitarist!

I'm a open-minded musician, willing to play any style as long as it is professional. My influences can go from Larry Carlton to James Taylor or Mac Demarco.
Originally from France, I started practicing the electric guitar when I was 16 years old. After getting my baccalaureate diploma in Literature, I decided to immerge myself fully into music. 3 years at French Music School "Tous en Scene" ((link hidden)), and getting graduated, I started right away instructing by myself but also gigging and recording with different bands. My solo work and collaborations have been featured in reviews like Rock&Folk, Le Parisien, MetalObs but also many others across the border like Fireworks magazine or (link hidden).
Some bands I've been working with :
- Dysmorphic (Unique Leader Records, USA)
- The Newtons ("Elevation" album, mastering by Brad Blackwood in Memphis, Tennessee).
I have gear, can travel.
(Gear: orange tube combo rocker 32, fender stratocaster, gibson midtown std, pedalboard, fender acoustic, squier jazz bass...)
