about me
Born and raised in Waalwijk, Mart Steenbeek started his musical hobby in high school and has since then toured the country as a drummer-lead singer with various cover bands.
In 1995, in addition to his regular job, he decided to start a solo career as a professional singer under the stage name 'Martin Stone', and not without success.

With his years of experience as a thoroughbred entertainer, with his own warm sound and pop songs sung with great feeling and beautiful ballads from his all-round cover repertoire, Martin manages to captivate his audience time and time again with professionally arranged top entertainment.

‘The Rat pack in One’ (*)
The swinging songs of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and Michael Bubblé, among others, also do well again and again for a wide audience in theaters, restaurants, private parties and company parties.
Together with his singing coach, Martin is constantly working on improving his singing technique and performance and in order to become an all-rounder on many fronts, he completed a course in camera acting in April 2011 at the Media Park in Hilversum.
