Martin Hurkens had a dream of being an opera singer when he was young, but he did not have the money to stay in music school. Instead, he became a baker to make a living for 32 years. His singing was mostly reserved for when he was home with his family.
When he lost his job, this Dutch baker’s daughters wanted to help him realize his lifelong dream and entered him in the reality TV talent show “Holland Has Talent” in 2010. The 58-year-old “paparotti” won legions of fans and the competition.
In the video below, Martin takes to the streets of Holland like a simple busker would, places down his hat, and sings “You Raise Me Up”. Soon a crowd gathers round to listen to the humble baker with the incredible voice!
