Marthe De Pillecyn (born 16 July 1996) is a Belgian singer, actor, and television presenter. Since 2015 she has been a member of the Belgian–Dutch girl group K3.

Early life

De Pillecyn has been active as the singer of the group K3 since 2015 and was the youngest member until the end of 2021. She studied at the Catholic Sint-Norbertus Institute in Duffel, but interrupted her studies to be part of the new K3.[1] In addition, she has been part of the Studio 100 choir since the age of 10, with whom she has performed among others at the Antwerp Sportpaleis and the Amsterdam ArenA. She has already sung in the background on several occasions during K3 performances.[2] She has also released a number of covers on her own YouTube channel.[3]

Career

From 2009, De Pillecyn became a permanent background singer of De Grote Sinterklaasshow, an annual show in the Antwerp Sportpaleis in celebration of Sinterklaas.[4] In 2013, De Pillecyn participated in the television show Belgium's Got Talent as a member of the Young Artist Academy (the choir of Studio 100), a group made up of 53 singers aged 9 to 25.[5][6] She also had a role in the soap Galaxy Park.[7] A year later she had the role of a student of the music class in the series Ghost Rockers.[8][9]

In 2015, she participated in the television show K3 Zoekt K3 (K3 seeks K3), intended to find three new members for the pop group K3 to take over from Karen Damen, Kristel Verbeke and Josje Huisman. De Pillecyn was finally selected on 6 November 2015 and formed the new group with Klaasje Meijer and Hanne Verbruggen.[10][11]

Begin 2021, De Pillecyn covered the single Try by Colbie Caillat together with her brother. Which resulted the production of a music video and being broadcast by Qmusic.[12]

After Meijer announced in February 2021 that she would be leaving K3, De Pillecyn and Verbruggen started looking for a new colleague in the K2 zoekt K3 program in the same year. At the end of November 2021, Julia Boschman won the contest and completed the girl group again.[13]

In December 2024, De Pillecyn was a candidate in the program Bestemming X-mas.[14]

Personal life

De Pillecyn had been in a relationship for several years with Viktor Verhulst, the son of boss Gert Verhulst. In November 2017, they were voted "Favorite Couple of Flanders".[15] They broke up in 2018.[16] Since 2022, Marthe De Pillecyn has been married to Studio 100 choreographer Sinerjey Meyfroodt, with whom she has been in a relationship since 2019.[17] Together they also run a dance studio.[18] In early 2025, they became parents for the first time.[19]
