In 2013 Maarten won the prestigious Keep an Eye International Jazz Award with his Maarten Hogenhuis Trio (Best Soloist and Best Band).

After the release of his debut album 4/3 in 2014, Maarten released his highly anticipated second album mimicry as a bandleader in January 2017. On May 1 2019, Maarten released his third trio album Rise & Fall, which got very good reviews by the Dutch press.
