From the vibrant streets of Etinan, Akwa Ibom State, a new voice is emerging—one that speaks the universal language of emotion through music.
Meet Uduak Promise, better known as Ice Colsen, an artist who believes music is more than just sound; it’s a living, breathing part of his life. “Music has always been part of my life right from school days,” he reflects, a passion that has since become his career.
Ice Colsen‘s sound is a rich tapestry woven from the legacies of giants. He draws from the rebellious spirit of Burna Boy, the global appeal of Wizkid, and the soulful depth of 2Baba, all while blending in the modern Afrobeats flair of Omah Lay and Kizz Daniel. Beyond Afrobeat, he credits R&B icons like Usher and Chris Brown for shaping the emotional core of his work. This unique blend allows him to create music that is both high-energy and deeply intimate.
As an independent artist, his journey has been a test of resilience. The biggest hurdle, he admits, is navigating the industry without the support of a major label. “You have to push extra hard to get your sound heard,” he explains, highlighting the challenges of funding projects and building visibility. Yet, his solution is simple: “consistency and genuine music always break barriers.” It’s a philosophy that has guided him through tough times and reinforced his belief in his craft.
For Ice Colsen, the stage is a sacred space for a two-way conversation. He doesn’t just perform; he connects by sharing his story and emotions. “I look into the crowd, vibe with them, and let the music carry us together,” he says.
This authentic connection is what makes every show feel special. Looking ahead, he plans to expand his reach, perform on bigger stages, and keep dropping music that cements his place in the Afrobeat scene. He believes that collaboration is key to growth, and he’s excited to work with other artists in his city to push the culture forward.
The happiest moments in his career aren’t about fame or fortune; they’re about impact. The love he received for his songs “Oxygen” and “Alimah” proved to him that his music could “touch hearts worldwide.” It’s this emotional connection that he aims to build his brand around. His upcoming project, “GBEGE” ft. Gino Vibes, promises a soulful yet upbeat vibe, with more tracks from his album “EMOTIONAL HIGHTENSION” on the way.
As his career moves forward, his message remains clear: “Consistency is louder than doubt.”
He urges aspiring artists to keep pushing, reminding them that their “breakthrough is always closer than you think.” For Ice Colsen, 2025 has been a year of growth and clarity, and the journey is just beginning.
