His ability to mix music with personality made his audition unforgettable

During Week 6 of auditions on Britain’s Got Talent 2013, Dutch performer Maarty Broekman delivered one of the most unusual and entertaining acts of the season. Armed with his keytar—a hybrid between a keyboard and a guitar—Maarty stepped onto the stage with a quirky charm that immediately caught the audience’s attention.

From the first note, his performance blended humor, musical skill, and a touch of eccentricity. But it wasn’t just the music that made the act memorable—it was his playful attempt to win over judge Alesha Dixon. With confident stage presence and a cheeky smile, Maarty directed much of his performance toward her, creating a fun and flirtatious dynamic that had both the judges and audience laughing.
