Upn - Single

Malte Ebert, or Gulddreng as he is more commonly known, continues with UPN to poke fun at the Danish music business. UPN parodies the "second-generation-gangster" auto-tuned salsa-rap popularised by artists like Gilli that have been topping the Danish charts for the last couple years. In UPN, Gulddreng talks about his "difficult youth", but swaps out the ghetto with a typical Danish upper-class neighbourhood, and instead of running from the police, he makes his pocket-money by mowing the lawn.

Gulddreng is the alter ego of Danish singer/songwriter Malte Ebert (born in 1994 in Vejle, Denmark), which Ebert created as a reaction to Danish music charts being dominated by what he describes as 'bad pop music'. In 2016, he saw his first seven singles all reaching #1 on the Danish Top 40 Tracks chart. In January 2017, Gulddreng released his debut EP, 24K EP, a limited edition vinyl-only release featuring six of the seven singles that had preceded it. The EP is sold exclusively at Gulddreng's live shows and through his website. On 22 September 2017, Malte Ebert announced his intention to withdraw the Gulddreng character following a concert planned to take place on 2 February 2018 in the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark.
