This gives him creative freedom to create his personal sound and to get his music straight to his fans. After six releases on his new label, the pandemic sadly hits and Martijn decides to ‘pause’ making music until clubs reopen. At the end of 2021 Martijn decides with his family it is time for a new adventure and they move to Brazil in February 2022.. Martijn is now based in Balneario Camboriu, has a busy DJ’ing schedule playing gigs all over Brazil and is actively working on new music again.
A new beginning is here and we look forward to the future!
