About

The artist

Martha Wainwright is a Montréal singer-songwriter and record producer with a recording career that began with the independently released Ground Floor cassette in 1997. Recordings for that project were made between 1994 and 1997 with Montréal musicians, and its artist-controlled 2025 digital edition credits Wainwright as one of the producers. Her self-titled 2005 album established an international solo career, followed by I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too, the Edith Piaf tribute Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, à Paris, Come Home to Mama, Goodnight City, and Love Will Be Reborn. Her official biography marked the debut album's twentieth anniversary in March 2025 with an expanded digital edition, a first vinyl release, and a tour. The exact Spotify identity 67pQ8Yr09zDDzzwWw3EG9R contains twenty distinct principal album and single containers available in Canada, split evenly between ten albums and ten singles under Spotify's classifications. They span Ground Floor, originally released in 1997 and digitized in 2025, through the Patrick Watson collaboration House on Fire in August 2025. This provider-visible count includes soundtrack, live, deluxe, anniversary, and EP containers and is not presented as a complete career discography. The matching Apple Music identity 5401211 independently links the current catalogue to Martha Wainwright, identifies her with Montréal, Quebec, Canada, and documents work across folk-rooted songwriting, rock, French pop, and experimental indie music. She also records and performs as a member of The Wainwright Sisters and has collaborated with Rufus Wainwright and Patrick Watson. The JUNO Awards list Wainwright as a 2006 New Artist of the Year nominee. Current professional activity is documented by her official 2026 show calendar, including multiple Quebec dates, while a 2025 Government of Quebec culture publication describes her as a Montréal resident. Professional inquiries route through the official contact page, which lists current management, booking, press, and licensing channels.
