From the beating heart of Nigeria to the bustling culture of Austria, singer/songwriter Kolin Otaru, better known as “Ikon the Entertainer”, brings a refreshingly unique voice to the global music scene. His lyrically profound music masterfully blends contemporary hip-hop elements with crisp, raucous vocals, establishing a distinct subgenre that celebrates the beauty and possibilities of human existence.
With multiple songs, stirring music videos and live performances in Vienna, Ikon is steadily anchoring its presence on the global music scene. As a passionate advocate of local talent, Ikon strives to illuminate Vienna’s vibrant music culture and create new opportunities and platforms for other artists.
Off stage, Ikon is also an accomplished entrepreneur. He is currently completing his Master’s in International Business and has launched his company, Celsius Entertainment.
This venture not only supports his musical collaborations, but also paves the way for his second passion – mixology and festive events.
Ikon’s journey goes beyond making music; it’s about weaving stories of sensuality, love and life in all their raw, unfiltered glory. As Ikon himself says, “I make music for everyone, striking a balance between good vibes and bad influence, reminding listeners to embrace all sides of existence, especially the wild ones.”
Guided by his mantra, “Life is short, enjoy the moment. Seek solutions, not problems,” Ikon is not only a trailblazer in music, but also a positive force that inspires his audience to live fully and optimistically.
Meet Ikon the Entertainer – a lover of life, a voice for our times, and a storyteller for enjoying the now.
