Martijn Krabbé: From Voice-Over to 'Kopen zonder Kijken' - 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 '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 voice-over work. Viewers were raving about his warm, recognisable voice that always 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 show or an intimate documentary, Martijn always strikes exactly the right tone. And he didn't get that gift from a stranger; talent definitely runs in the Krabbé family.
The unshakeable family bond
Martijn isn't the only one with artistic blood. The Krabbé clan is a true artistic dynasty. His brother Jeroen Krabbé is, of course, known worldwide 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's following in his father's footsteps as a musician and presenter. It's clearly in the genes. Last year, Martijn was off air for a while due to his health. At the time, his brother Jeroen said he found the situation 'terrible' – an emotional time for the whole family. Thankfully, 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 'Kopen zonder Kijken'.
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 operates behind the scenes: 'He's not just a professional presenter, but also an incredibly involved and warm person. That's what makes our collaboration so special.' It's that chemistry that has made the programme a hit for years. Viewers love the combination of Martijn's sense of perspective and Alex's down-to-earth take on the housing market.
Martijn in a nutshell
- Presenter of 'Kopen zonder Kijken', RTL Boulevard and countless other shows.
- Voice-over for The Voice of Holland and other big productions.
- Family man: proud dad to Bickel, plus a daughter and son from a previous marriage.

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 simply 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 on our screens for many years to come.
