About

Gaute Ormåsen (born 20 April 1983) is a Norwegian singer and was the Idol runner-up to Kurt Nilsen in 2003. He represented Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 along with Ben Adams as a part of pop band Subwoolfer.

After taking part in Idol, Ormåsen was offered a contract by BMG.

He has also had a supporting role in the long running Norwegian television series Hotel Cæsar.

In 2010, he took part in Melodi Grand Prix, the Norwegian preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest, singing "Synk eller svøm" reaching the second chance round without getting to the final, and again in 2013 singing "Awake", reaching the final but failing to reach the top 4. Ormåsen participated in and won Melodi Grand Prix 2022 as part of Subwoolfer with "Give That Wolf a Banana". He then took part again in Melodi Grand Prix in 2024 alongside Erika Norwich with the song "My AI", managing to advance to the final where they ultimately placed third; Ormåsen performed behind the avatar of "Super Rob", revealing his real identity only after the final.
