Why we like Ice Kidd:
Once again, Montreal's Ice Kidd is one of the more impressive Heatseekers we've heard in a minute - it's nice to hear some R&B in the mix, and he clearly has a solid hold on the genre, with poignant vocals and generally emotive production. You'll be hearing more of him in the near future, we're sure.
Artist Bio:
Nigeria-born Prince Daniel Emmanuel Okon Apan Edulkson, AKA Ice Kid, kicked off his music career at the age of 10 as a rapper, recording his first song in his bedroom with a Dollar Store microphone. Three months later, Prince decided to start promoting himself as a rapper in his home city of Montreal, where he was told he could never make it in music, but still, Prince continued to record and publish remixes. In 2009, Prince then decided to get into R&B/Soul music fully, releasing 3 to 4 songs a week, both remixes and original. In 2011, he garnered international exposure with the release of his first official single "Dream Girl", which was nominated for International Act of the Year in his native Nigeria. His third single, "Beautiful Dreams", exploded throughout the web and received daily spins on MTV Africa, MTV Canada, Much Music TV and AmeTv. Having released four major singles worldwide in under a year, Ice Kid has solidified his status as a popular fixture on international and Canadian based entertainment blogs, and has been recognized as one of the brightest up-and-coming, multi-talented artists in the entertainment industry.
