Martijn Krabbé: From Voiceovers to Property Shows - Here's the Latest Update
Who doesn't know him? Martijn Krabbé has been a familiar face on Dutch television for years. But recently, there's been a lot of buzz around this versatile presenter. From his iconic voice on The Voice of Holland to his role in 'Kopen zonder Kijken' (Buying Without Seeing), and of course, the undeniable Krabbé genes that run through the family. We dive into the latest developments surrounding Martijn and his famous clan.
A Voice to Remember
This past week, Martijn was back in the spotlight for his work as a voice-over artist. Viewers were lyrical about his warm, recognisable voice that always adds that little extra something. 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 thrilling talent show or an intimate documentary portrait, Martijn always strikes the right chord. He didn't get that gift from a stranger; talent truly runs in the Krabbé family 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 his name 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. So, it's clearly in the genes. Last year, Martijn was off 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. Thankfully, Martijn is now back to his old self and we see him shining on screen again. In fact, he's right in the middle of filming a new season of 'Kopen zonder Kijken' (Buying Without Seeing).
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 presenter, but also an incredibly involved and warm person. That's what makes the collaboration so special.' It's this chemistry that has made the programme a success for years. Viewers love the combination of Martijn's sense of perspective and Alex's down-to-earth view of the housing market.
