Early life

Growing up in Hillerød, [2] in the Capital Region of Denmark, Icekiid's family would often give him musical gifts, including a guitar and other instruments. He also spent time singing in the church choir. [2] In the past, he has talked about his problems of being overweight growing up. [3]

Before becoming Icekiid, Creppy originally performed under the name of Lil G Boy before changing his stage name in 2014. [2] The G was meant to represent Ghana, where his family had its roots. [2]

Career

In June 2015, Icekiid released his debut single entitled "Coco Chanel". [4] [5] His first EP, Afro Dansker, was released on on 3 October 2016. [2] The EP included the songs "Blondiner og Brunetter" and "Afrikaner", the latter of which included filming a music video in Ghana. The EP received a mixed response from Soundvenue, which gave it three-of-six stars. [6]

"Gulddans" was released in May 2016 by Icekiid, celebrating F.C. Copenhagen's season in which the team won the Danish Superliga and Danish Cup. [7] The song reached double-platinum certification from IFPI Danmark. [8]

In 2020, Icekiid released the song "ErruDumEllaHvad" which went on to become one of his best known singles. The song reached number one on the Danish top 40 charts on 15 July 2020, [9] and was named as the number four song on Hitlisten's top 100 tracks of 2020. [10] The song appeared on the football video game FIFA 21 . [5] In January 2024, the song received its quadruple-platinum certification. [11] He was nominated as "New Danish Name of the Year" at the 2020 Danish Music Awards, though he ultimately did not win the award. [12]

Icekiid's debut studio album, Ingen Roser Uden Torne, was released on 3 June 2022. [13] The album received five-of-six stars from Soundvenue, citing Icekiid's lyrics and afrobeat-centric music as positives. [14] The album received gold certification, and reached number three on the Hitlisten charts on its debut week. [15] "Drippy", a single from the album, also went on to achieve platinum certification. [16]

Icekiid achieved his second appearance on a number one Hitlisten track, appearing on the song "Dark Room" from Tobias Rahim. [17] As part of Rahim's album Vulkanø, the song has since gone double-platinum. [18] At the end of 2024, it was named as the sixth most-streamed song in Denmark. [19]
