Amos Osterhaus started his musical journey at an early age learning to play boogie woogie from Dirk Jan Vennik a boogie woogie legend and musical desciple of Rob Hoeke. Venturing outside of the musical boundries beset by his various music teachers Amos started as a child making his own compositions and songs driven by a joy for music he would later pass on to his own music students.
At the age of twelve Amos released his first album In Casale M featuring his own compositions of which Lelijk ontmoet kikker, a composition for a theater play, earned him a price in the category composition at the Princes Christina Concour.
Five years later he would release a second album featuring twelve compositions in his own indie classical style sometimes bordering on folk and jazz.

During these years Amos performed together with the students and alumny of the Paul van Vliet academie in both big and small theaters all across the Netherlands and worked regularly as a pianoteacher for students of all ages whilst creating his own pianoteaching method focussed entirely on composition and music theory.
During the corona years Amos, forced by lockdowns, ventured outside of the musical realm teaching himsellf to create computergames in Unity and subsequently creating and publishing (on Steam) a computergame featuring his own compositions.
