Martin Léon (born April 26, 1966) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and composer from Quebec, most noted as a three-time winner of the Prix Jutra/Iris for Best Original Music.

Background

Originally from the Saint-Roch quarter of Quebec City, he studied contemporary music at the Université de Montréal, and subsequently had a seven-week apprenticeship under Ennio Morricone in 1995.

With Geneviève Bilodeau he formed the jazz-pop duo Ann Victor, who won CKOI-FM's L’empire des futures stars competition in 1997 and were nominated in several categories at the 21st Félix Awards in 1999 for their album Ciné-parc.

Following the band's breakup, he then released four albums as a solo artist between 2002 and 2010, as well as composing music for a number of documentary projects, before turning actively to film composition with Aurelie Laflamme's Diary (Le Journal d'Aurélie Laflamme).
