Gaute Søderholm, known as Norwegian Uke, approaches the ukulele in distinctive and unconventional ways. In 2024, he completed the world’s first Bachelor’s degree in Norwegian Folk Music with ukulele as his main instrument, marking an important step for the instrument within this tradition. His debut album Slåtter på ukulele followed soon after. Alongside traditional folk repertoire, Gaute interprets songs from various genres and composes his own instrumental pieces with a sensitive and personal touch. Having performed across Europe and Asia, he now works full-time as a ukulele teacher in Shenzhen, China.
