Musician, Creator & Performing Artist

With over two decades of experience on global stages, Martin Östman is a versatile musician and creator who moves seamlessly between jazz double bass, digital production, and physical performing arts. As a co-founder of the acclaimed group Sirqus Alfon, he has toured the world—from the streets of Berlin to major stages in China and the USA—with performances that blend technology, interaction, and "unbridled insanity."

Over the years, Martin has established himself as a prominent figure in the Swedish performing arts scene through collaborations with Riksteatern, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, and the children’s dance institution Zebradans. With a background as a composer and producer at his own Studion Schmudion, his work is defined by a drive to explore the intersection of music, magic, and playful storytelling.

Current Projects: "Jazz på föris" & SVT

February 20, 2026, marks an exciting milestone with two simultaneous releases:

• "Jazz på föris" (Jazz for Preschool): A new musical project where jazz meets the youngest listeners in a playful and inspiring environment. This release is an extension of Martin’s passion for making high-quality music accessible to children.

• "Sånger med TAKK" (UR/SVT Barn): At the same time, this series premieres on Sweden's national broadcaster (SVT/Barnkanalen). The program focuses on TAKK (Signs as Alternative and Augmentative Communication), merging the joy of music with inclusivity and pedagogy.

Whether it is solo projects like the acclaimed performance Svävaren, studio sessions, or international tours, Martin Östman is driven by a lifelong love for the power of music to surprise and unite.
