A Voice You Can't Forget

This past week, Martijn was back in the spotlight for his voice-over work. Viewers were raving about his warm, recognizable voice that just adds that little something extra. Some even called it 'the velvet of Dutch television.' It's clear: his voice is just as famous as his face. Whether it's for a high-stakes talent competition or an intimate documentary, Martijn always strikes the perfect tone. It's a gift that runs in the family, because talent is in the Krabbé blood.

The Unbreakable Family Bond

Martijn isn't the only one with artistic blood. The Krabbé clan is a true family of artists. His brother Jeroen Krabbé is, of course, known internationally as a painter and actor, while Tim Krabbé has made a name for himself as a writer and chess player. And then there's his son Bickel Krabbé, who is following in his father's footsteps as a musician and presenter. It's clearly in the genes. Last year, Martijn was off the air for a while due to his health. His brother Jeroen mentioned at the time that he found the situation 'terrible,' an emotional time for the whole family. Luckily, Martijn is now back to his old self and we're seeing him shine on screen again. In fact, he's right in the middle of filming a new season of Love It or List It.

Chemistry with Alex van Keulen

On that show, he works closely with real estate agent Alex van Keulen, who guides the search for dream homes. Alex recently shared how Martijn works behind the scenes: 'He's not only a professional host, but also an incredibly engaged and warm person. That's what makes the collaboration so special.' It's that chemistry that has made the program a success for years. Viewers eat up the combination of Martijn's ability to keep things in perspective and Alex's down-to-earth take on the housing market.
