Information About

Martin Tielli




Tielli's guitar style is textured and flamboyant, and his vocal style is acrobatic (he has an extremely developed Falsetto range). He is something of an eccentric, often enigmatic in interviews, and he suffers from severe Anxiety when performing solo.

Martin Tielli plays a Steinberger headless electric guitar, nicknamed "Steiny". This guitar is made out of graphite instead of wood, which gives it incredible sustain. It has a special mechanism that allows you to bend to virtually any pitch without going out of tune. Martin is a virtuoso on the steinberger and is a master of its many techniques. Martin's other famous guitar is his Ibanez double neck 6/12 string electric guitar which he painted himself with the design originally championed by Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson to be the Canadian Flag (nick-named "the Pearson pennant").

Tielli's younger brother John formed the band Clark in 1999 . His youngest brother Doug was in People From Earth with John Tielli, and went on to play with artists such as Tamara Williamson and Snailhouse .
