Kristian Humaidan (born 1981, Svendborg, Denmark), better known by his stage name UFO, is a Danish singer, rapper and hip hop artist. He was part of the rap duo UFO Yepha before splitting-up and going solo. With the split, UFO is noticeably branching into Danish music rather than hip hop as in the days with Yepha.

2002–2011:As UFO and Yepha

[edit]

Kristian Humaidan (known as UFO) won the freestyle championship MC's Fight Night in 2002. Soon he started collaborating as a duo with Jeppe Bruun Wahlstrøm (known as Yepha, born 1983)[1] through Svendborg, and later from Aarhus. They were also known as Whyyou (taking lead from first letters of their names). They had a good number of chart successes before they split-up as a duo in 2011.

They had three albums charting on the official Danish Albums Chart as follows:

  • U vs. Y (2003 – reached #28)
  • Ingen som os (2006 – reached #20)
  • Kig mig i øjnene (2008 – reached #32)

They released many singles as UFO and Yepha including charting singles:

  • "Hver dag" (2003, reached #1)
  • "Næh næh" (Ufo Yepha feat. Anna David) (2008 – reached #20)
