Devoldere began his career through his band Balthazar at age 22 with Applause (2010), the first album released by the band formed in 2004. In 2016, Maarten started Warhaus, a solo project.
Despite Balthazar being commonly referred to as an indie rock group, Devoldere has described their songs simply as pop music.[1] The band had recorded three albums and one single, followed by a break, intending to come back and record a fourth album to be released in early 2018.[2] As of March 2021, Sand is Balthazar's latest album.[3]
Maarten's style in Warhaus has been described as a continuation of Leonard Cohen's style, although denser,[4][5] with influences of Tom Waits' style and Serge Gainsbourg ballad songs.[6] Some of Warhaus-period songs and albums were recorded with Devoldere's girlfriend at that time, Sylvie Kreusch, a Belgian musician who made her solo debut in 2018.[7][8][9][10][11]
