MAD ICE LAUNCHES HIS OFFICIAL SITE....Singer-songwriter Ahmed Kakoyi best known for his stage name "Mad
Ice" is one of the most charismatic artists the world music genre has to
offer. Based in Helsinki, Finland Mad Ice has gained recognition with his
fabulous soulful voice and touching live performances. With love being the main
message conveyed on the lyrical side of his compositions, Mad Ice's music is a
unique fusion of melancholic African melodies with a touch of soul...call it
Afro-soul.
Not only is Mad Ice a talented writer but a great performer as well. Listening to his warm and powerful voice is an experience, whether you understand the language or not...Its like being on a transcending journey to the unknown. Appreciated by any audience, Mad Ice performs regularly with his band on Jazz and World, even on Pop and Rock stages. Being recognized as one of the greatest stars in East Africa, his music is year after year on playlists not only on African but also on international radio stations.
ROOTS
Born in Uganda 1980, Mad Ice started his career way back in 1998 as a young emcee and performer on various talent shows and singing covers in hotels but at the same time writing his own songs. Influenced mostly by mid 90s Caribbean sounds of Chaka demus & pliers, Shaggy and the likes, this affected a lot on Mad Ice's earlier style which can be heard on his debut album Baby Gal. Fusing different musical styles has been a big part in the making of Mad Ice's music from the very beginning. The Caribbean sounds were more a street influence, at home Mad Ice listened to country, soft rock and South African music. In search for true inspiration Mad Ice landed on Seal, Tracy Chapman, Khaja nin, and Lokua Kanza's music... I guess this explains the diversity of the singer we see today.......GET TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SINGER AND HIS WORKS THROUGH http://www.madice.net/
