Encyclopedia > Ice MC

Ian Campbell, who often goes by the alias IceMC, was born in England but his parents are from Jamaica. He got his nickname Ice when he was in high school. He was a lot into clubs and breakdancing when he met Roberto Zanetti in Italy. They got together and made a single called Easy. The genre that Campbell is most popular in is reggae. The single was very sucessful all over Europe, but it was not considered to be Eurodance. Later in the early nineties, Roberto Zanetti met Alexia who became the future vocalist of their Eurodance hits. His album Ice'n Green released in 1994 was extremely sucessful and the two most sucessful songs were Think about the Way and It's a rainy day. Other sucessful songs from the same album include Take away the colour, Roussian Roulette, Dark Night Rider, and Run Fa Cover.


Although the main genre for these songs is Eurodance, it does have a considerable amount of Italian influence. This is especially prevalent in Dark Night Rider and It's a Rainy Day. But Think about the Way and It's a rainy Day were so sucessful that many Eurodance fans still listen to them. In 1994 due to some legal issues, Ice MC (Ian Campbell) separated from Roberto Zanetti and Alexia. In 1996 Ice MC struck back with a new album called The Dredatour. The hit song of the album was the pure Eurodance song "Give me the Light", but the album itself wasn't particularly sucessful. After this, many thought that Campbell had caused irreparable damage to his career. His latest single, released in 2004 (It's a Miracle) was a disaster.
