Vince Clarke (born Vincent John Martin; 3 July 1960) is an English synth-pop musician and songwriter. Clarke has been the main composer and musician of the band Erasure since its inception in 1985, and was previously the main songwriter of several groups, including Depeche Mode, Yazoo, and the Assembly. In Erasure, he is well known for his deadpan and low key demeanour onstage often remaining motionless over his keyboard in sharp contrast to Andy Bell's animated and hyperactive frontman antics. Erasure have penned over 200 songs and have sold over 25 million albums worldwide. Vince Clarke will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 as a member of Depeche Mode.

Vincent John Martin was born in South Woodford, Essex and then he moved to Basildon, Essex. He initially studied the violin and then the piano, but he was inspired to make electronic music upon hearing Wirral synth band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). Along with OMD, other early influences included The Human League, Daniel Miller, and Fad Gadget.
