Chloe Martini, born Anna Żmijewska, is a Polish producer and composer who emerged as a significant voice in the mid-2010s electronic-soul scene. Originally inspired by the cinematic minimalism of Ryuichi Sakamoto, her early work in film scoring informs the sophisticated harmonic structures found in her pop and R&B leaning catalog.
Her sound identity is defined by a 'liquid' production style, utilizing shimmering synths, side-chained compression, and intricate vocal arrangements that align her with the 'Future Beats' movement popularized by labels like Soulection. Throughout her career arc, from the breakout 'Private Joy' to the more expansive 'Daydream', she has maintained a reputation for high-fidelity sound design and a bridge between underground SoundCloud culture and polished pop sensibilities. Critically, she is noted for her ability to avoid the clichés of chillwave by injecting her tracks with genuine soul and jazz-influenced musicianship. Her work serves as a stylistic link between the atmospheric downtempo of Bonobo and the modern vocal-driven electronica of James Blake.
