Onze Martinus

About

Onze Martinus is the solo project of Eindhoven songwriter Martijn Kuijten, who writes personal songs in Brabant dialect about hope, love and getting older. They come with a laugh and a tear, and what they share is a good story. He's the kind of songwriter who seems to have a straight line running from heart to hands to voice. Under his own name he's a familiar face on the Eindhoven scene through Mannen met Baarden, and he's also known for Vergane Glorie, a theatre and television series he made for Omroep Brabant together with Björn van der Doelen and Ruud van den Boogaard. In a live setting he has teamed up with cellist Mirthe de Jonge, which gives the songs a warmer, more intimate sound.
