Giles Martin (born
9 October 1969) is an
English record producer,
songwriter, and
multi-instrumentalist. He is the son of
Sir George Martin, famed producer of almost all of
The Beatles' records. Giles Martin grew up without much awareness of The Beatles, and was discouraged by his father from pursuing a career in music lest the inevitable comparisons should be made. Giles ignored the advice, first playing in the commercially unsuccessful band
Velvet Jones, then writing
jingles in college, then working in various musical capacities in the UK. In 1995, he was appointed co-
music director for the television and radio music countdown show, The Great Music Experience. He worked on the
Party at the Palace concert to celebrate
Queen Elizabeth II's
Golden Jubilee, for which he also produced the subsequent album and DVD.
