The son of gospel singer Arnold Børud, Ole began a career in music at age five as a member of the family musical group Arnold B. Family, a group which would participate in the Melodi Grand Prix three times. In 1988 at age twelve, Børud released a studio album of Christian children's music, Alle Skal Få Vite Det!. In the mid- and late-1990s, Børud forayed into heavy metal music: He co-founded the death-doom project Schaliach in 1995 before joining the progressive death metal band Extol in 1996.
In 2002, he released a studio album as a solo artist, Chi Rho, in which he performed covers of hit songs by various Christian contemporary musicians. In 2008, Børud released Shakin' the Ground, a studio album in which he established a West Coast style that he has continued on subsequent albums. Børud considers Shakin' the Ground his true debut as a solo performer as his previous release was entirely of unoriginal music. The same year, he collaborated with Kåre Conradi and Ingelin Reigstad Norheim along with girls from the Jeløy Church's Children's and Youth Choirs to release Takk, gode Gud, for alle ting: 20 sanger fra Barnesalmeboka, a compilation album of 20 hymns. In 2009, he recorded a cover of Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire" for the compilation album Fly Away - Songs of David Foster.
In 2011, he released Keep Movin, which peaked at no. 27 on the Norwegian charts and no. 15 on the Swedish charts. That same year, he performed live with Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns, a concert which was later released on DVD in 2013. In 2013, he collaborated with Samuel Ljungblahd on a Christmas album, Someday At Christmas. The album charted at no. 39 in Norway and no. 13 in Sweden. That year Børud also released a best-of compilation, The Best. His next studio release was Stepping Up, released on 24 November 2014.
On 18 January 2019, Trine Rein featured Børud on her single "Where Do We Go". His seventh studio album, Outside the Limit, was released on 20 September 2019. Børud also was featured as a vocalist and guitarist on the progressive death metal band Cognizance's single "Malignant Domain", released 22 August 2019. On 22 November 2019, he appeared, in collaboration with Lewi Bergrud and Maria Solheim, on the Christmas EP Blåtoner. The next year the same trio recorded a music video performing the hymn "En krybbe var vuggen" ("Away in a Manger") and a single, "Julefred", the latter featuring Frøydis Grorud. On 13 April 2020, Børud was featured along with Kine L. Fossheim on the single and music video "Together We Stand". The song was released by Gospel Explosion, a choral project led by Leif Ingvald Skaug. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Leif began holding online choir rehearsals, in which individuals from 70 different countries participated. Many of these choral members then collaborated from around the world to create the song. On 27 June 2020, Børud accompanied Ander Buaas on "Alfr. Andersen" from Buass' album Larvik Improvisations. In 2021, he featured on the Sullen song "Skylines" from the album Nodus Tollens Act I: Oblivion. Børud's eighth studio album, Soul Letters, was released on 11 February 2022. On 21 April 2023, he guest featured on the song and accompanying music video for "Mouthless Embassy" by Kallias. In December 2023, he guest featured on A Hill to Die Upon's rendition of "What Child Is This?" on their Christmas album The Black Nativity. A second EP of his, Revisited Sessions, was released on 10 May 2024
