About Me

Jan-Pieter Martens is a former football player (a.o. KV Mechelen, Roda JC, Sturm Graz), that was always addicted to acoustic music. Most of you might know him only as a football player but in the meanwhile he is all day making music or playing Footvolley (also European Tournements) .... Born into a family of artists it was a small miracle he became a professional sportsman and even a bigger miracle he stayed it for 12 years. Nowadays he 's a journalist for belgian television and newspaper. Here you can check some solo-tunes. Visit his homepage to listen to more songs..

Dagblad De Limburger, which is the biggest newspaper in the region of Maastricht and Kerkrade, visited JPM for a portrait. They became true answers and the words were finely written into their medium on 10.11.2007!! The pictures were taken at the TVLimburg Studios during a live tv-show where JPM played three songs. In the back you can see Joke and Cynthia of TVL!!! Videos of it will be online soon.. You wanna read? Click here .

Sport/Voetbalmagazine did a small "what happened to..?"-interview which you can read here . Funny to see that old picture again!!!


The Belgian newspaper Het Belang Van Limburg brought a portrait of JPM in their weekend-edition of 22.09.2007. Click here !

JPM appears on the Austrian sampler "1967" with a coverversion of Jacques Brels "La Chanson des vieux amants". (check it here) as well as on the Austrian Sampler AUTscream Vol.2 with the song "Ton Sourire" which you can hear here.
