Martin's father was a Greek Orthodox priest and his mother is a nutritionist.

 Brian M. Palmer | Demetri Martin interview
Whether he's producing palindromes, doing drawings, making music, or crafting some of the most economic, elegant, and hilarious jokes, the man seems to be in an unwavering state of production that only sleep can interrupt.
Martin has even admitted to often falling asleep while playing guitar or with a pen in his hand.
I remember when I first did a ho-ho, my friend was like, “Demetri!” We were in a parking lot skating for three hours, and I just kept trying it over and over.

 Demetri Martin
Martin, the prototypical good Greek boy, served as an altar boy at church and bused tables at the restaurant.
He then put on a pseudo-play where he would strum his guitar while talking; some of his comedian friends dressed as fairies and dragons and such would act according to the story he was telling ("where my jokes come from").
Martin was the first person on a Comedy Central special to do the three major forms of stand-up comedy, appearing as a standup comic, a prop comic (such as The Amazing Jonathan), and as a musical comic (such as Stephen Lynch).

 Demetri Martin...These Are Jokes (A Review) - from Jim and Lynnette's Fun Times Guide
Demetri has written for NBC's Late Night with Conan O'Brien (a sketch writer, not a monologue writer), and performed on the show numerous times, as well as appeared on Late Show with David Letterman, Carson Daly, and numerous others.
In fact, it's almost as if Demetri treats comedy as more of an art form -- a way for him to show off his drawing skills (which are amazing!) and his unique way of thinking (which is fairly deep, yet practical).
Demetri's target audience is probably people who are a tad younger than me. Teenagers and 20-somethings will probably eat this stuff up.
