Phoenix J (a translation of her Chinese name "Hong") a.k.a. Joan Martin, is a Singapore born, UK based performing singer-songwriter, keyboardist and arranger-programmer.

Her music have been likened to Madonna, Kate Bush and Bjork. Her debut Binary Star reached Top 40 in Asia, and her sophomore Junkk takes the "blend of Western pop, R&B dance and Asian influences she explored in Binary Star to another level. Lovers of alternative music, dance and even rock will also find plenty of tasty riffs and touches." (Zach's Trax). In live performances, she has a thrilling stage presence, complemented by spine-tingling and heartfelt vocals.

Phoenix has also been working with various bands and producers, including a recently signed project with rising London-based band Greenhaus, dubbed a cross between Massive Attack, Cocteau Twins and Portishead. After many successful gigs and co-writes with them, she is now their long-term frontperson and main vocalist/songwriter.
