Maarten van Roozendaal (2 May 1962 – 1 July 2013)[1] was a Dutch singer, comedian and songwriter.[2] He recorded "I'm So Curious", and variously worked with Paul de Munnik, Willem Ennes, Egon Kracht, Marcel de Groot and Kim Soepnel.[1]
Biography[edit]
Van Roozendaal was born in Heiloo, North Holland, Netherlands. In his youth he was involved with music, and he combined this with his work as a bartender. He wrote music for Teleac school television, playing piano, plus he played drums in a punk band, and directed and advised other artists. In 1994, he won the jury and audience at the Cabaret Festival. He mainly performed his own work, but also that of Cornelis Vreeswijk and Bram Vermeulen. Van Roozendaal also put some poems by Jean Pierre Rawie to music.
Van Roozendaal's work was sometimes of a melancholy tone, at other times cynical. His recurring themes are life, love, death and drink.
On 8 February 2013 it was made public that Van Roozendaal was terminally ill with lung cancer. Subsequently all of his performances were cancelled. Van Roozendaal died on 1 July 2013 at the age of 51.[1]
