Alfen is a producer and rapper from Copenhagen, Denmark. Alfen makes
catchy tunes inspired by southside hiphop, but uses instruments from
Asia and middle east. He debuted in 2014 with his EP "Hungrende" which
received 4 stars from danish Music Magazine Gaffa. In 2017 Alfen went
no. 33 Denmark viral on spotify, with his single "lædersko og hat feat.
Peter Frödin”. He was up for two nominations by Gaffa in 2019. “Danish
hiphop release of the year” and “New danish name of the year”.
Alfen participated in the international Music competition "Emergenza
Festival" in 2015, and won the danish finale, and the scandinavian
finale, and made it to the Word finals in Germany. "intense, alluring,
dramatic and multitalent", was some of the praising words from reviews,
when Alfen performs with vocals and piano with a liveband, while dancing
and jumping around on stage.
Alfen has also performed om danish television several times. Alfen has
also played at Copenhagen Pride two times. That gave ham attention by
the danish Magazines, who mentioned Alfen being the first openly gay
rapper in Denmark. However, Alfen does not feel that it's a major topic
in his lyrics, but merely a part of his identity that is naturally
expressed through Music.
