Bart Oostindie started out as a street musician at the age of 18.

In 2002 Bart joins the popular Dutch soul/funk band Mo'Jones with whom he plays on the North Sea Jazz festival in 2003. Together with piano player Mike Roelofs, who was also playing in the Mo'Jones band, Bart forms his own project with Mike Roelofs and Leon Bartels: Down South.

In 2004 Bart decides to focus on his song writing. His style is often compared with artists such as John Mayer, James Morrison, Jack Johnson and Gavin Degraw.
