Darko Ostojić (; born 23 March 1965), known by his nickname Ogi, is a Bosnian musician and actor.

Born in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, SFR Yugoslavia to a classical violinist father, Kamenko Ostojić, and architect mother, Laura, who worked in the wood industry, Ostojić was raised in the neighbourhood of Mejtaš with a younger brother, Dejan.[5] [6]
Growing up in a family with a professional musician and constantly exposed to music, simultaneous to his elementary and secondary (gymnasium) education, young Ostojić took up acoustic bass and bass guitar. He would also often be brought along by his father to different Yugoslav music festivals, such as and, where his father performed.[6]
In 1980, Ostojić and his friend Dado Džihan formed a rock band with a spiritual touch called Nirvana, later changed to Cyclone. A few years later, both of them joined garage rock band Zabranjeno Pušenje.[5]
