Ott Lepland

In Estonia Ott Lepland has won everything that could be won: Estonian Idol in 2009; the lead role in High School Musical in 2010; the show Laulupealinn (Singing Capital) in 2011, where he represented his family’s hometown of Kärdla; and Eesti Laul, the Estonian round of the Eurovision Song Contest, in 2012 with a song he wrote himself.

He has always beaten the competition by an impressive margin. In the final of Eesti Laul, for example, he received 67% of the votes.

Ott was already well known in Estonia when he was still a child. He released four albums of children’s songs and performed in the theatre, but left the limelight when he became a teenager and focussed on his studies of music. The result is here: he is one of the most respected vocalists in Estonia, an excellent pianist, and the author of some of the biggest radio hits of recent years.

Ott’s strengths are his powerful voice and down-to-earth demeanour. He is not a show-off, but a true and serious artist. He may be a little reserved, but it is this trait that makes people take him seriously and gives him the charm that has brought him the love of his audiences. Yes, that’s what a true Estonian man is like! Get ready, Eurovision – here he comes!

Ott was born on 17 May 1987 in Tallinn. He has released three (2010, 2011, 2012) albums that were aimed at the Estonian market and contained many songs he had written himself.

Ott himself has said: “I feel that I’ve been lucky. I believe that the reason why I’ve been so successful is that I’ve done my own thing and remained true to myself.”
