Martijn Bakker

Martijn (born 11 August 1987) is a Dutch singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. While he is best known as a vocalist, he effortlessly accompanies himself on instruments such as piano. “Jamming and improvising on any instrument just makes me happy,” he says—and that joy is clearly reflected in his music.

Martijn’s songs explore all facets of life: traveling, music, doubt, loss, and, of course, Love. He feels most at home within a soulful band sound, drawing inspiration from artists like Gregory Porter, Elton John, Raul Midón, Bill Withers, James Ingram, the Bee Gees, Joe Cocker, and Alain Clark.

Since 2023, Martijn has been touring with MainCourse (formerly Bee Gees Forever), the ultimate Dutch Bee Gees tribute band. MainCourse won the TV show The Tribute – Battle of the Bands 2024 and delivers a heartfelt homage to the legendary Gibb brothers—Barry, Robin, and Maurice—bringing their timeless music to life for audiences across the world.
