Martijn Krabbé: From Voiceover King to 'Buying Blind' - Here's the Latest
Everyone knows him, right? Martijn Krabbé has been a staple on Dutch television for years. But lately, there's been a lot of buzz around this versatile presenter. From his iconic voice on The Voice of Holland to his role in 'Buying Blind' (Kopen zonder Kijken), and of course, the undeniable Krabbé talent that runs in the family. We're diving into the latest developments surrounding Martijn and his famous clan.
A Voice You Never Forget
Just last week, Martijn was back in the spotlight for his voiceover work. Viewers were absolutely raving about his warm, recognisable voice that always adds that little something extra. Some even called it 'the velvet of Dutch television'. One thing's for sure: his voice is just as famous as his face. Whether it's for a thrilling talent show or an intimate documentary, Martijn always strikes the perfect note. It's a gift that clearly runs in the family, with talent woven into the Krabbé DNA.
An Unbreakable Family Bond
Martijn isn't the only one with artistic blood. The Krabbé clan is a genuine artistic dynasty. His brother Jeroen Krabbé is, of course, a world-renowned painter and actor, while Tim Krabbé has made his name as a writer and chess player. And then there's his son, Bickel Krabbé, who's following in his father's footsteps as a musician and presenter. It's clearly in the genes. Last year, Martijn took a step back from the screen due to his health. His brother Jeroen mentioned at the time that he found the situation 'terrible'—an emotional time for the whole family. Thankfully, Martijn is now back to his old self, shining on our screens once again. In fact, he's right in the middle of filming a new season of 'Buying Blind'.
Great Mates with Alex van Keulen
On that show, he works closely with real estate agent Alex van Keulen, who helps house-hunters find their dream homes. Alex recently gave us a peek behind the scenes at how Martijn operates: 'He's not just a professional presenter, but an incredibly caring and warm person. That's what makes working with him so special.' It's that chemistry that has made the program a hit for years. Viewers just love the combination of Martijn's easy-going nature and Alex's no-nonsense take on the property market.

- Presenter for 'Buying Blind', RTL Boulevard, and countless other shows.
- Voiceover Artist for The Voice of Holland and other big productions.

In short, Martijn Krabbé is more than just a presenter; he's an institution. Whether he's in front of the camera, lending his voice to a commercial, or just enjoying time at home with his family, he remains one of the most beloved TV personalities in the Netherlands. And with the support of his famous family and the love of the public, he'll no doubt be gracing our screens for many years to come.
