Gulddreng facts for kids

Malte Fynboe Manniche Ebert, born on June 26, 1994, is a Danish musician. He was once very famous under his stage name, Gulddreng. This name means "gold boy" in English. For a while, no one knew who Gulddreng really was. He always wore sunglasses to keep his identity a secret. His real name became known when the father of a family he stayed with during an exchange trip shared it online.

As Gulddreng, Malte had amazing success. His first seven songs all reached the number one spot in Denmark. These hit songs included "Model", "Se mig nu", "Hva' så", "Drikker for lidt", "Nemt", "Guld jul", and "Ked af det". Some of these songs even started at the very top of the music charts! In September 2016, Gulddreng even launched his own official app for fans.

In September 2017, Malte decided to stop using the name Gulddreng. He wanted to use his real name, Malte Ebert, for his music. He explained that he created Gulddreng as a way to react to pop music he didn't like. In June 2018, he released his first song as Malte Ebert, called "Rather Be". He played his first concert as Malte Ebert in Vega, Copenhagen, in May 2019. Later in 2019, he traveled to Los Angeles to create songs with a more international sound.
