Early Life and Education

Growing up on Nørrebro in Copenhagen, Hans faced challenges, including a period of heavy cannabis use in his early 20s, which he later described as a low point.

Career

Hans Philip started his music career rapping over borrowed beats before meeting producer Jens Ole McCoy through mutual friends in 2010. They formed the grim project Skørmand, which performed at Copenhagen’s Distortion festival in 2011, sparking their belief in a music career. In 2012, they transitioned to Ukendt Kunstner, releasing the EP Hælervarer and moving from grime to melancholic rap.

Their debut album, Neonlys (2013), earned gold certification and critical praise for its Copenhagen-inspired storytelling. Ukendt Kunstner followed with Forbandede Ungdom (2014) and Den Anden Side (2016), but the duo disbanded in 2016 due to burnout, playing their final concert in 2017.

Hans launched his solo career with the single “Siger Ingenting” (2019) and his debut album Forevigt (2019), which went gold and showcased his shift to alternative R&B. In 2022, he released the double album [α] and [β], featuring tracks like “Juno 18.” His performances at festivals like Smukfest and Northside, and on COLORS with “Somendrøm,” have earned five-star reviews.
