Ómar Örn Hauksson born on the 28th of january 1975, grew up in a neighborhood in Reykjavík called “Breiðholt,” and he graduated from a high school there called “FB.”
He was in a few bands before joining Quarashi, including “ Den danske død.” And “Trió Óla skans.” (You can sometimes see him wearing a t-shirt that says “Den danske død.”)
He worked on and off wih Quarashi from 1996 to 2000. On songs like Superwoman and Punk. He finally joined the band in 2000 right before they went to America where their popularity grew largely.
Ómar’s voice is the booming force behind many a Quarashi tune which carries it that bit of a stretch further than it would have gone without him. He adds that bit of spice to the mix that makes Quarashi what it is and his tall dark and handsome looks have won him many a female fan

Random information and things relating to Ómar:
Ómars favorite movie is : “The night of the creeps” which is an 80’s horror movie. It carries no celebrities and isn’t very well known. It’s about snails form outer space who go into people’s mouth and lay eggs in their brains and turn them into zombies. The movie takes place on a college campus. Where two nerds battle the Zombies while they hit on the hottest babe in school.
Ómar’s favorite album is: “Doggy Style” By Snoop-Dogg. It is in his opinion the greatest rap album ever made. He says it never grows old and is always as fucking good. Sadly Ómar doesn’t think that Snoop-Dogg has done anything good since then.
Ómar’s favorite book: The book that Ómar has read the most times is called: “The Princess from Mars.” And it’s about the character John Carter who goes to Mars. This is a science-fiction book by Edgar Rice-Burroughs who did “Tarzan.” Burroughs made a series of these books which is not known at all in Iceland but is known in America. “It’s fun how this book is written early in the last century and information about Mars was not on everyone’s plate. So this is all very funny. But the book is very fun despite of that and I totally get swept away with it when I read it.”
Ómar is into Japanese pop-culture.

He draws and has drawn for children’s books and at least one comic. He has also made a few logos for Quarashi.
