Royce Martin is a pianist, composer and 2022 graduate of Berklee College of Music. Having worked as the in-house pianist and lecturer at the Scott Joplin State Historic Site, Royce returned to St. Louis to record an album of a dozen Joplin classics, reinterpreted in his own style for his debut album Memories on Morgan Street: Scott Joplin Reimagined. In October of 2024, The New York Times opinion columnist John McWhorter captured Royce’s piano playing in three words: Sly, Relatable and Brilliant.
