In 1980 Ott joined Diesel

Diesel (band)

Diesel was a Dutch pop/rock group that became one of the few Dutch acts to chart in the U.S. when their song "Sausalito Summernight" entered the U.S. Top 40 in 1981.-Biography:Diesel was created in October 1978 by ex-Kayak drummer Pim Koopman...

 as a replacement for Frank Papendrecht. He had taken up a career as a bassist only recently before that (switching from guitar) and despite his shy demeanour, he was a quality bassist.

In 1984 he left the band just before its demise around a year later.

Today Ott works in television.
